Mendel Movie Review 1998

Mendel (Sorenson) is the nine-year-old son of German-Jewish concentration camp survivors and displaced persons, who are relocated to Norway in 1954. Mendal is too young to know about the horrors that befell his family and that still cause them all nightmares. His parents are determined to shield him from their past while Mendel is equally determined to discover the family secrets. German and Norwegian with subtitles.
