This is about two people who go through a living hell for years because of the Nazis and their monster of a leader, Hitler. It is about the survival of love and strength of the human heart in the face of unimaginable brutality and cruelty. It is also about a people who follow evil so readily and do whatever they are told to do. That would be the SS and the horrible followers of that ghastly regime.
