Reviewed by Ernarosa Tominich, MLS, Trocaire College Library, Buffalo NYThis documentary interviews couples who in their youth survived Nazi concentration camps. Young survivors of the Holocaust found themselves totally alone when most of their family members were killed in the Nazi concentration camps of World War II. After the war, those released from Nazi war camps stayed in German displacement camps until they could make a go of their lives again. Love blossoms anywhere and these couples relate how after searching for family survivors, they begin to mend the torn and shattered fabric of their lives. How they meet other young people like them selves, fall in love, set down roots, and re-created a sense of belonging and a sense of family.
Undying Love contains black and white vignettes of stark World War II news clippings portraying very difficult personal, emotional and economic hardships. It is a highly recommended educational documentary.
