Life after Liberation - Holocaust Survivors in Post-War Germany

When WWII ended with victory over Nazism in 1945, for around 50,000 Jewish Europeans freed from concentration camps there was nowhere to return. These Jewish refugees found themselves in camps for Displaced Persons in Germany run mainly by the US Army. The documentary meets survivors of the Shoah liberated near Landsberg in southern Germany and later housed in the DP camp there and in the town proper. It also exposes what Germany called the ‘Zero Hour’ - the term used to imply a radical break with the past after the war - as an oft-questionable attempt at self-exoneration.
