Trivia
In the opening scene there is a shot of a man wearing a hat walking with a woman across a bridge. The man is stopped by a soldier and motioned to go back the way he came. The man is the real Jack Zimmermann, the youngest of the 13 being hidden.

Goofs
After the Germans occupy Przemysl, trucks drive through the city announcing that "You are now citizens of the Third Reich". Areas of Poland that had been German prior to Word War I were annexed directly to the Reich. Przemysl however was not part of the Reich but of the "General Gouvernement" of occupied Poland. Poles in this area were not citizens but subjects, with no rights and subject to enslavement and eventual extermination.

Amazing Story!

High recommend for Catholics, Jews, teens, Germans, Russians, you name it, this story is just unbelievable. I remember when I was 17 and thought I had a hard life under papa's regime and working two jobs and taking advanced classes, etc.

How impressive is this girl and her sister to help so many and demonstrate fearlessness. I know it is easier when you trust life more at this age but, wow talk about going the extra mile.

I had tears at the end, knowing it could possibly be happy was unexpected. The negative reviews have valid pov's but overall a grain of sand in the desert.

What a message for humanity. Thank You!!
