Nina’s Journey 2005

• Director: Lena Einhorn
• Based on the book by Lena Einhorn
• Cast: Agnieszka Grochowska, Maria Chwalibóg, Andrzej Brzeski, Pawel Iwanicki Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in:
• None of them
• Why? The book
• Seen:  14 December 2023                 

        Young Nina (Grochowska) is forced to move into the Warsaw Ghetto with her family and the struggle to survive the persecution of the Nazis begins.

       It’s not a spoiler to reveal that Nina survived and ended up in Sweden. Lena Einhorn is her daughter and the elderly Nina herself narrates the film in Swedish. This interview alternates with actors portraying the drama and news clips of the time.

       It’s very effective.
