Movie Info

This is the story of the final days of the Jews of Hungary, rounded up by the Nazis in 1944. The story is told by five people, all Americans now, who, as youngsters survived the Holocaust. The film follows them back to their hometowns, as they recount pleasant childhood memories, then, deportation to the camps, narrow escapes from execution, liberation, and their journeys to America. Building entire new lives out of their turbulent childhoods, their tenacity is uplifting and their courage inspirational.

I've watched a lot of documentaries chronicling the Jewish people and their lives after the Shoah... And I must say that this one is better than most.
