When World War II broke out and the Germans invaded his country, Wladyslaw believed he would be safe after securing work certificates for himself and those he loved. After he and his family were selected to be sent to a Nazi concentration camp, Wladyslaw was pulled aside and saved from the certain horrors that awaited those leaving for camp. After going into hiding, however, Wladyslaw was introduced to a whole new set of horrors with starvation being his biggest obstruction. And just when Wladyslaw had given up all hope, help unexpectedly came from a kind German officer (Kretschmann) with a passion for music. Nominated for seven Academy Awards
