Die Kinder von Blankenese

The film follows Tamar, Josef, Bracha, and Wolfgang, who survived the horrors of persecution and concentration camps. In May 1945, they find themselves in the former Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, now cohabiting with English soldiers and other survivors. They take refuge in a villa belonging to the Jewish Warburg family in Hamburg-Blankenese.

The narrative explores the challenges these children face, including the resurgence of anti-Semitism in their new environment. Encounters with hostility at the local zoo and indifference in hospitals reflect the societal tensions of post-war Germany. As they await their journey to a new life in Palestine, the film highlights their struggle for hope and belonging amidst a fractured world.
