About this movie

A film portraying the impact of the Holocaust on families of concentation camp survivors, A Generation Apart brings to the screen a new and dramatic dimension of Hitler's attempted destruction of the Jewish people. Now that the children of survivors have grown, it has become painfully clear that their parents' wartime horrors have formed a very real emotional cornerstone in their families' relationships. A Generation Apart captures these family relationships with incredibly candid -- and sometimes explosive -- confrontations between survivors and their children in a way that illuminates the nature of problems between parents and children in general.
