HOLOCAUST: THE STORY OF THE FAMILY WEISS: PART IV: THE SAVING REMNANT (TV)
Summary
The fourth and final part in this drama that follows the experiences of the Weiss family in the years of the Holocaust during the Nazi era. In this installment, Dorf of the S.S. runs the death camps with new vigor; Josef and Berta are sent to Auschwitz; Rudi leads a raid on a Nazi depot; Karl says goodbye to Inga and is sent to Auschwitz; and Moses continues to work with the resistance in Warsaw. Next, Berta dies at Auschwitz; Dorf is condemned by his uncle Kurt; Moses, Josef, and Helena meet violent deaths; and Dorf meets with Himmler and others to discuss the future of death camps. Dorf argues that the death camps should remain as monuments to the Nazi beliefs; Karl dies at Auschwitz; Rudi escapes from prison camp; and Dorf commits suicide during an interrogation by the Americans. Rudi and Inga -- the sole survivors of the Weiss family -- are reunited. Commercials deleted.
