Nina's Children

The documentary delves into the historical context following the Nazi invasion of Austria in 1938. A group of Jewish children, initially arriving in Oslo for summer camp, find themselves unable to return home due to the escalating political turmoil. The film chronicles the establishment of an orphanage in Norway to care for these children, many of whom were separated from their families.

Nina Grünfeld, the director, shares a personal connection to the story as one of the children featured is her father. The runtime of 80 minutes allows for an in-depth exploration of these poignant narratives. The film sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of World War II and the challenges faced by Jewish families during this period, making it a significant documentary for those interested in historical accounts and the impact of war on children.
