This is a powerful and compelling story of the Dutch resistance to the Nazis during World War ll. Survivors of the period recall the horrors of what they faced as the Nazis occupied their land and searched out rebel spies. Stories of death and hunger are sadly told accompanied by archival footage which displays nude prisoners and some with emaciated bodies from hunger. It all began when Hitler sat in a prison cell for political crimes and wrote an autobiograhpy titled “Mein Kampf” (My Dream) and spelled out his plans to wipe out the Jewish race and gain control of world power.
The people who share their stories include John Muller, John Knight, Frieda Menco, Hans Zilversmit and Jan Van Drill who says, “Man makes his plans but God rules.” It is an inspiring documentary as many of them state they have no idea why God allowed the holocaust terrors but they still believe He is God and He moves in mysterious ways. World War II began in September 1939 as Hitler struck in Poland. The Fire Bombing of Rotterdam is featured as Germans begin patrolling the streets of Holland.
This is a stirring documentary due to the nudity in archival footage, we award this film our Dove “Faith Based” Seal with a caution for nudity.
