Abstract: Consists entirely of archival footage of family home movies and celebrations filmed in Europe during WWII juxtaposed with the grimmer realities of the war, offering visible evidence of the private aspects of WWII. The increasing persecution of the Jews and footage of concentration camps are included. A recurring event is the public racist punishment of two young lovers, an 18-yr. old German boy and a Polish girl, who are bound and humiliated, their hair shaved off and burnt as a National Socialist performance lesson to the children of a German-Polish village.
