Inhalt: |
ARMY OF SAVlOURS (unter Bauern) is based on the memories of Marga spiegeI. In her narrative, pubIished in 1965, she describes how courageous farmers in southern MünsterIand hid her, her husband Siegfried {named Menne} and their IittIe daughter Karin from 1943 untiI 1945, thus saving them from deportation to the extermination camps in the East. The fiIm teIls this story of survival with a sense for the absurd in daiIy life and not without the typical westphaIian humor. Without reservation, the farmers offer the refugees their protection. That this turns them into heroes would never occur to them. They are used to weathering even dangerous situations somehow, guided only by their instinct and century-old code of ethics. They risk their own lives, and, if necessary, even that of their famiIies. There is never a discussion about friendship, reIiability, humanity. In Yad Vashem the farmers names are immortaIized: Heinrich Aschof, Hubert Pentrop, Bernhard SüdfeId, Heinrich Silkenböhmer, Bernhard Sickmann. The film ARMY OF SAVlOURS wants to create a memorial in honor of these siIent heroes. LANGUAGE: GERMAN WITH ENGLISH SUBTlTLES. |
