Der Neunte Tag
Added to my films
A drama loosely based on Jean Bernard's Nazi-era prison diary. A catholic priest from Luxembourg is imprisoned in the concentration camp Dachau during the Second Word War. But for 9 days he is allowed to get back to his family for the funeral of his mother. We are told the story of a young Nazi official who tries to convince the priest to get his bishop to stop his passive resistance.
