The personal stories of the seven Weber siblings are shared in Beth Lane’s gripping and hopeful UnBroken
Beth Lane, in the two intertwining strands of her gripping and hopeful documentary, UnBroken (co-written with Aaron Soffin and a highlight of the 14th edition of Doc NYC), introduces us to her mother and surviving aunts, and travels to Germany to trace the incredible journey of her ancestors. “There is no rational explanation for miracles” wrote the director’s late Uncle Alfons about his arrival, together with his six sisters in the United States from post-war Germany. They are to this day the only seven Jewish siblings known to have together survived the Holocaust.
