Ryszard

A story based on true accounts of my father, Ryszard, living in war torn Poland in the 1940's. The bombing of his home sees his family living with his aunt in a different city. Here he meets Helena, a Jewish girl, who becomes his first girlfriend, although his brother Jozef has other ideas! Tragedy leads Ryszard to join Armia Krajowa (the Polish underground) where he befriends Franz, a lad with anger management issues. Getting captured by the Nazis, enslaved in a worker's camp, escaping when the Allies bombed the township of Oranienburg and making a grueling journey to the German border, they meet with other survivors with the same idea. Find the Americans.
