- The "Our Gang" type adventures of German working class kids from a Berlin apartment building (number 67) during the early 1930s. With Nazism's rise, however, their tight-knit group unravels. One leader, Paul, becomes a Nazi. In a later book in the series, he renounces Nazism and flees to Switzerland. Another, Erwin, resists Nazification. In a later book, his father takes him to Sweden and he eventually ends up fighting for the British. The girl, Miriam, who is Jewish, emigrates to Canada. In a later book, she returns to Europe after the war, where all three comrades finally meet in Geneva to renew their vows of friendship.
- A story about the rise of Nazism based on a novel by a German-Jewish author who managed to survive by fleeing to the USA. The movie focuses on working class Berliner Lissy Schroeder who marries clerk Alfred Frohmeyer believing he can provide her with a better life. In 1932, however, his Jewish boss fires him. So Alfred turns to the Nazis, quickly rising in the SA, and acquiring wealth along the way. Lissy, however, discovers there is, as always, a price. The Nazis shoot her brother, a former Communist. And her parents and friends shun her. What is she to do?
- This movie is based on the life of Saint Edith Stein. She was a German nun of Jewish descent who had converted to Catholicism. Much of her early life was spent as an outspoken academic. There, according to the movie, she feuded with Joseph Heller, a fellow professor with right wing beliefs. In 1933, after Jews were no longer allowed to teach, she became a nun in the Spartan-like Carmelite order, but when World War II heated up, Heller, who had become an important Nazi official, took his revenge; he had her deported to Auschwitz.
- Lea Weiss, a Polish Jewish woman, was first forced into prostitution at Auschwitz. Afterwards, she was victimized in medical experiments. Now, 20 years later, German war-crime prosecutors hope she will be their star witness. But can she stand up to the shame, the publicity, and the reliving of those experiences?
