“ A most impressive way to exhibit the prevailing ambiance in Germany at the rise of the Nazis… Extremely convincing dramatic moments are created through the imaginary dialogue between the director and her great aunt.”
Berliner Zeitung
“Breathtaking moments for actor Naomi Krauss as Beate Berger. With chilling clarity and without the slightest hint of misrepresentation, she shares with the viewer the process whereby she realized that Germany is no longer a place for Jewish children.”
Franfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Germany
“Immeasurable love and emotion, without a drop of sentimentality nor nostalgic schmaltz. A meticulously forged work of cinema, both modest and humble, moving and inspiring.”
Yehuda Stav, Yediot Aharonot, Israel
“A stirring, unique compilation of human portraits that portrays the painful past, in the present”
Noam Buxbaum, Ha'aretz Online, Israel
“Exceptionally moving”
Yael Shuv, Time Out, Israel
"Highly recommended"
Yon Feder, Ynet, Israel
