Escape from Germany
“Escape from Germany,” is the true recounting of a miraculous yet unsung WWII event, releasing in theaters April, 2024. Hitler's army was rapidly closing borders in August of 1939 while eighty-five American missionaries were serving their church inside Germany. As the German military preparations escalated, word came to speedily move those LDS missionaries to safety in adjacent countries. Taken from the personal diaries of those missionaries, this riveting story is a testimony that God truly leads and protects His servants, opens doors, and provides timely inspiration. The harrowing escape of these missionaries from Nazi Germany as World War II started is one of the most remarkable but little-known events in the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Powerful True Story
I absolutely loved it. I think for those with a spiritual bent, they will appreciate the miracles evident in this true story. Even so, it was a fascinating account from an historic point of view. Not having known the story beforehand, it proved particularly riveting.
The main actors all, as expected, did a great job. What impressed me, in addition, was the fantastic performances across the board. Though her part was small, the young actress who played the role of a little Jewish girl really stood out to me. When her family, especially her father,was being picked on by a Nazi official I was utterly convinced by her sorrow and I felt heartbroken. Tremendous acting chops for one so young.
