CHATBOT: "Run Boy Run" is a 2013 German-French-Polish film directed by Pepe Danquart, based on the true story of Yoram Fridman. The film depicts the survival of a young Jewish boy, Srulik, who escapes the Warsaw Ghetto in 1942. He spends years navigating Nazi-occupied Poland, initially alone in the forests and later adopting a Christian identity to survive. The film is an adaptation of the 2000 novel "Run, Boy, Run" by Uri Orlev. The story follows Srulik (played by twins Kamil and Andrzej Tkacz) as he struggles to maintain his Jewish identity while constantly at risk of being discovered by the Nazis. He is eventually taken in by a Polish woman, Magda Janczyk, who helps him adopt the identity of Jurek Staniak, a Christian orphan. Srulik's journey highlights themes of resilience, the impact of war on children, and the importance of identity. "Run Boy Run" is available on various platforms, including Menemsha Films and has been screened at film festivals like the Toronto Jewish Film Festival, which also provides a study guide for the film. WIKIPEDIA: Run Boy Run (German: Lauf Junge lauf; Polish: Biegnij, chłopcze, biegnij; French: Cours sans te retourner) also titled Escape From Warsaw in the UK is a 2013 German-Polish-French[1] co-production of the film director and producer Pepe Danquart. The film is an adaptation of the 2000 novel Run, Boy, Run by Uri Orlev, based on the life of Yoram Fridman, who as an eight-year-old Jewish boy in 1942, escaped the Warsaw Ghetto and survived, largely on his own, for the next three years in rural Nazi German-occupied Poland. The screenplay by Heinrich Hadding and Pepe Danquart.[2] The world premiere of the film took place on November 5, 2013, at the FilmFestival[3] Cottbus in Germany. THE BOOK: https://annas-archive.org/search?q=Run%2C+Boy%2C+Run+Uri+Orlev BOOK BLURB: description 'Srulik, there's no time. I want you to remember what I'm going to tell you. You have to stay alive. You have to! Get someone to teach you how to act like a Christian, how to cross yourself and pray. . . . The most important thing, Srulik,' he said, talking fast, 'is to forget your name. Wipe it from your memory. . . . But even if you forget everything—even if you forget me and Mama—never forget that you're a Jew.'"And so, at only eight years old, Srulik Frydman says goodbye to his father for the last time and becomes Jurek Staniak, an orphan on the run in the Polish countryside at the height of the Holocaust. With the danger of capture by German soldiers ever-present, Jurek must fight against starvation, the punishing Polish winters, and widespread anti-Semitism as he desperately searches for refuge. Told with the unflinching honesty and unique perspective of such a young child, Run, Boy, Run is the extraordinary account of one boy's struggle to stay alive... ALTERNATE DESCRIPTION: Run, Boy, Run is the extraordinary account of one boys survival of the Holocaust. Srulik is only eight years old when he finds himself all alone in the Warsaw ghetto. He escapes into the countryside where he spends the ensuing years hiding in the forest, dependent on the sympathies and generosity of the poor farmers in the surrounding area. Despite the seemingly insurmountable odds, several chases, captures, attempted executions, and even the loss of his arm, Srulik miraculously survives. Haven't read the book. The movie made my eyes all blurry... M. It's good you reposted this film. I posted it a long time ago... |
