David

Even during the festival of Purim, when the Hitler Youth are already shouting anti-Semitic slogans through the streets, Rabbi Singer believes that he and his family are safe in Germany. A few years later, the Germans refuse to allow his son David to attend school. Anti-Semitic demonstrations, burning synagogues and finally the deportation of his parents prove it:The Holocaust knows no mercy. Now young David fears for his life; in omnipresent fear of discovery, he looks for a way to leave Germany. Under a false name and without a Jewish star, he gets a job with a German manufacturer in Berlin. David confides in him and receives a forged passport, which helps him to make his longed-for escape. The film won the Golden Bear for best film at the 1979 Berlin International Film Festival.
