Description

Eva Salier (née Hellendag), a young Dutch Jewish artist, is forced into slave labor by the Nazis. She struggles to stay alive by learning to make radio tubes for German fighter planes and bombers, transported by cattle car to Nazi factories in concentration camps and dangerous underground factories. She clings to the emotional bond created within her group of Dutch women prisoners, like a family, keeping each other’s spirits up. Her occasional glimpse of humorous situations in the concentration camps, shown through animation, make her laugh and feel human again, if for just a moment; these small moments prove to be the thread that keep her going long enough to survive.
