Packed with revelations and withheld information that comes to life; it is like an old movie castle full of false fireplaces and trap doors.
One of the most compelling films the Holocaust has yet produced.
Sarandon narrates and Ormond reads excerpts from Hahn's memoir, supplemented by archival footage and interviews with the survivor herself.
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. That about sums up the amazing story of Edith Hahn Beer, an Austrian Jew who survived the Holocaust by passing herself off as Aryan.
A powerful account of living in isolation and constant terror.
At a brisk 97 minutes, the film skips over many episodes that make Hahn's book a pulse-pounding page-turner, but offers her rare perspective on both sides of civilian life during those nightmare years.
Well-crafted but frustratingly superficial documentary.
