This 36-year-old TV film, directed by Anthony Page and written by Leonard Gross, is another worthy film to add to the small number that pay tribute to the all too few Germans who opposed Adolph Hitler. Like Alone in Berlin, reviewed in the May issue, this is set in Berlin. It is based on the non-fiction book by Leonard Gross The Last Jews in Berlin and stars the great French actress Jacqueline Bisset as the real life Countess Maria vol matzan. It is thus, as with Alone in Berlin, not a Holocaust film filled with scenes of brutal atrocities, but a love story about a woman who said "No." The title stems from the infamous Nazi Nuremberg laws that said all close contact between Jews and Aryans is forbidden, laws echoed in America dominated by Jim Crow.

In Germany, Wolfgang Braun is forced to join the Nazis. He isn't sure he believes anything Hitler is doing is good, but he doesn't have a choice. When the most powerful man in the country enlists your help, you don't turn him down. So what happens when he finds a young Jewish girl hiding in the rubble? Does he take her to a concentration camp or kill her? Or does he help her escape to freedom? Naomi Adler is an eighteen year old Jewish girl in the middle of an age of terror, the Holocaust. Her family has already been taken away, but by some sort of fortune, she was saved. Can she make it safely to America, as her family had planned, or will she be found out before then? Her world turns upside down when she meets David Lee who in 1918, WWI, was drafted into the United States Army, just like his father and brother. He was a driver, transporting men, food, and supplies when needed, risking his life to support them on the battlegrounds
