ARMY OF SAVIOURS (unter Bauern) is based on the memories of Marga spiegel. In her narrative, published in 1965, she describes how courageous farmers in southern Münsterland hid her, her husband Siegfried {named Menne} and their littIe daughter Karin from 1943 untiI 1945, thus saving them from deportation to the extermination camps in the East. The film tells this story of survivaI with a sense for the absurd in daily Iife and not without the typicaI westphalian humor. Without reservation, the farmers offer the refugees their protection. That this turns them into heroes wouId never occur to them. They are used to weathering even dangerous situations somehow, guided only by their instinct and century-oId code of ethics. They risk their own Iives, and, if necessary, even that of their families. There is never a discussion about friendship, reliability, humanity. In Yad Vashem the farmers names are immortalized: Heinrich Aschof, Hubert Pentrop, Bernhard Südfeld, Heinrich SiIkenböhmer, Bernhard Sickmann. The film ARMY OF SAVlOURS wants to create a memorial in honor of these silent heroes. LANGUAGE: GERMAN WITH ENGLISH SUBTlTLES. |
