When a benevolent farmer put seven Jewish children, ages 6–18, into the back of his truck and drove them to safety, the Weber siblings’ incredible odyssey of survival in Germany during the War began. Following their father’s advice to “always stay together,” and relying on youthful bravado, cunning, instinct, and miraculous good luck, they fought through hunger, bombings, and fear, finally escaping to a new life in America. Through conversations with her relatives, now in their eighties and nineties, filmmaker Beth Lane, daughter of the youngest Weber sibling, retraces their tumultuous, harrowing, and courageous journey. Told with wit, warmth, and a sense of unfolding discovery, UnBroken is a heartwarming achievement.
