This is the story of a German woman in 1943 Berlin who reluctantly gets into hiding Jews from the Nazis. It tells a lot about how hard it was for the German people during the final stages of the war and their general lack of faith in each other. It was kind of a tell on each other society (including family)to get in good with the Nazi regime. Many of the people seemed cold-hearted. War was hard on the common people. I did not like some of the sexual situations, but otherwise recommend it.
