plot synopsis:
This film takes place during World War II and deals with the destiny of many Jews from Berlin. In 1943 the Jews who lived in Berlin were driven together at the train station Grunewald, to deport them to the concentration camp Auschwitz. These people spend the journey cramed together in small wagons. They suffer because of hunger, thirst and cold nights. Just two people will survive the journey.
