Jakob der Lügner
Jakob the Liar
Jakob Heym, a Jew deported to a Polish ghetto during the Second World War, is discovered by a sentry in the street after curfew and is taken to a police station to be punished. Whilst there, he overhears through an open door that the Red Army is successfully advancing. When Jakob is unexpectedly released by the SS man in charge, he is faced with the question of what to do with this uplifting news. With whom should he share his joy? Will people believe him or will they think he is an informer?
