Part of Cinema Explorations, a wintertime community-curated film series.

UnBroken is a different kind of Holocaust movie. Seven Weber siblings—preschooler to adolescent—evade certain death after their mother dies at Auschwitz. Following their father’s mandate to “always stay together,” they use guile and will to endure unimaginable hardships. Separated from their father, they are told that they must declare themselves orphans to escape to America. This would eventually tear them apart for 40 years. This should be enough story for any film, but UnBroken also has a passionate romance and selfless acts of daring. Creatively, it retraces step-by-step the siblings' lives from Germany to America. Despite the horrors of the Holocaust, we found ourselves uplifted by the powerful resiliency of the human spirit and the simple goodness and courage leading to resistance and generosity when fear, self-preservation, and ambition would dictate otherwise.
