UnBroken chronicles the plight of the seven Weber siblings who, following their mother’s murder at Auschwitz, evaded certain capture and death as mere children in war-torn Nazi Germany. After being hidden in a laundry hut by a benevolent farmer, the children spent two harrowing years on their own. Emboldened by their father’s mandate that they ‘always stay together,’ their saga culminates in a painful ultimatum: for that which would save them, would also tear them apart.
Filmmaker Beth Lane, daughter of the youngest Weber sibling, embarks on a quest to retrace their steps, seeking answers to long-held questions about her family’s survival. The film examines the journey of the Webers as told through conversations with living siblings – now in their eighties and nineties – while Beth and her crew road trip across Germany, following the courageous, tumultuous, and harrowing path taken by her family over seventy years ago.
Following the film there will be a brief Q&A with director Beth Lane, moderated by Scott Richman, Regional Director, New York and New Jersey at the ADL.
