"Rosenstrasse" the movie


Rosenstrasse, the movie.
This was a very interesting find at the library. According to historical fact, not all Germans, during the Nazi's reign, were anti-Semitic, especially those married to men or women of Jewish heritage.
This movie starts out in current day New York city, when a family is sitting Shiva for the death of the husband and father. Mother and daughter are unable to come to terms about the past. The daughter is determined to find out about her family's past, and so travels to modern day Berlin, to visit the woman who saved her mother. In doing so, a poignant story of love for a man and a child is unfolded.
The acting was outstanding.....
In German, with subtitles, but VERY easy to follow, after awhile I found that I was following the story more then the dialogue....
Hope you will consider this one.
