The characters' ages correspond to my family - my mother was born in Hungary 1944. Her mother carried her through the Terezin concentration camp, one of the 100 children who survived. Her father was killed. Artur is 90. The murdered children were 9, 5 and 3. Ira was one - that's a miracle akin to Moses' birth, in the sense of the following midrash: Moses' parents had divorced because Amram didn't want to bear a son and have him drowned by Pharaoh's decree, thus he would not cohabit with Yochevet. Their daughter, Miriam said, "Pharaoh murders the boys, but you kill the girls as well." Amram then remarried Yochevet. The child brought about a transformation in the family that resulted in a miracle of hope, a new child. In this case, Moses, but for a husband and wife to have a child in Hungary in 1944 was also a miracle, one of not losing hope, from which my mother was born. Ira is 62, Jennifer is 33, Ethan is 26, Nikki is 24, Zeke is 17, Lionel is 13. We knew it would be unusual to address the Holocaust within a comedy, but the juxtaposition of tragedy and comedy is the most Yiddische of all customs. Just stand on the food line at a funeral. Some uncle will tell a knee-slapper, and the laughing widow will thank him. Jsirpicco, thanks for the love! The characters’ ages correspond to my family – my mother was born in Hungary 1944.

Little movies need big support. We've put all our heart and all our soul and all our resources into this film and we need the communities in NY, LA and South Florida to come out on the opening weekend of April 7 (not on Shabbes, of course - Friday matinee or Saturday night would be fine) so that the movie can reach the rest of the country!

Yes, I'm back from the dead, and want to add two things... 1) The movie is also touching, it almost brought me to tears as it careened toward the climax... 2) There is one flaw: The holocaust was 60 plus years ago...so the ages of the father and mother and kids are a bit off, but that's relatively minor... jsirp declares this: cool. worth seeing. So there! Jsirpicco saw this movie! Yes, I’m back from the dead, and want to add two things…
