Diamonds of the Night
1964 · Movie · 63 min. · Czechoslovakia
Diamonds in the night is the story of two Jewish boys who escape from a train transporting them from one concentration camp to another. Ultimately, they are hunted down by a group of old, armed home-guardists. The film goes beyond the themes of war and anti-Nazism and concerns itself with man's struggle to preserve human dignity.
