More research into Diaires of a Prisoner


Definace:
Jewish brothers in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe escape into the Belarussian forests, where they join Russian resistance fighters and endeavor to build a village in order to protect themselves and about 1,000 Jewish non-combatants.
They live, not only with the fear of discovery, contending with neighboring Soviet partisans and knowing whom to trust but also take the responsibility of looking after a large mass of fleeing Polish Jews from the German war machine. Women, men, children, the elderly and the young alike are all hiding in makeshift homes in the dark, cold and unforgiving forests in the darkest times of German occupied Eastern Europe

This gave me in depth research into what the Jews had to go through if they were not in the camps. It also gave me the idea of families sticking together and even love, marriage and children being brought in at this time of the battle. The theme of survival and safety also fits into this idea through the way the film tells the story of their journey. This film even showed jealousy of the Jews and how in some cases they turned against each other.
