Synopsis:: Show moreShow less
One of the first post-World War II films to deal with the Holocaust. 'Border Street' recreates the circumstances surrounding the doomed Warsaw Ghetto uprising in which a small heroic band of Jews chose to resist the Nazis rather than face deportation to Auschwitz or Treblinka. The story unfolds through the eyes of four characters who live in the same building: David and Jadzia are two Jewish youths who fight the Nazis as their only choice for survival while gentiles Bronek and Wladek consider the occupation an insult to their Polish heritage.
Aleksander Ford's heart-wrenching film focuses on the common goals of the Poles and Jews as they stage a valiant effort to rid themselves of the Nazi menace. 'Border Street' is at once a compelling drama and a page out of history.
