The Jewish Kublitz family lives quietly and comfortably in Copenhagen until a wounded Gentile resistance fighter, Niels (D.B. Sweeney), is saved from death by young Sarah Kublitz (Kelly Wood) who gives him shelter in the Kublitz home. Sarah and Niels fall in love as the Resistance learns of the Nazis plan to arrest Jews. Sarah's father, who works as a bookkeeper in a Nazi arms factory, must face some tough moral choices - including whether to sabotage the factory in which he works. A DAY IN OCTOBER, by the Academy Award winning producers of BABETTE'S FEAST, presents with distinction the true story of a nation that had the courage to stand up against the enemy. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The heroic rescue of Danish Jews during WW IIThis movie tells the story of Danish resistance against the Nazis during WW II and centers around a Jewish family who find themselves having to harbor a Danish resistance member who is severely wounded during an attack on the Nazis.

Rating: - Another great Holocaust story.I always hesitate to say too much about these movies as it takes away all the elements of surprise. I very much enjoyed this movie. It shows how people help people and what we are able to do when we have to. I hope by remembering where we were we will never go there again. A must see for Holocaust survival lovers. Rating: - The Scandinavian Miracle at MidnightOne of the most remarkable feats of World War II happened in Denmark. After about three years of believing they could live in peace with the Germans, the Jews were finally scheduled to be shipped to the death camps. Fortunately, a trusted Dane working in the German's Command learned of the plan a day or two before it was to happen, so he secretly warned the Jews. Within a matter of hours, the Danish Resistance help get some 7,200 Jews on boats and taken to Sweden. Being neutral, Sweden willingly took ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
