Product Overview
This is a film about a group of men, now in their seventies and eighties, who, as boys, survived the Nazi concentration camps of World War Two. They came to Australia at the end of the war in Europe after they were liberated from Buchenwald, a notorious concentration camp in Germany. The film focuses on how they have rebuilt their lives after a childhood and adolescence of loss and horror. It is an intensely moving and uplifting study of memory, loss, friendship and family. As Holocaust survivors grow old and die, the film is an important first-hand account of what happened to many Jewish people during and after the Second World War. Their story is one of resilience and courage, told with humour and optimism.
