Angry Harvest

Angry Harvest is a 1985 West German film directed by Agnieszka Holland, based on a novel written by Hermann Field and Stanislaw Mierzenski while they were imprisoned by the Polish government in the early 1950s. The circumstances surrounding the novel's creation are detailed in Field's autobiographical account, Trapped in the Cold War: The Ordeal of an American Family.

Plot

The film begins in the winter of 1942/1943, with the German Wehrmacht almost entirely occupying Europe. Jewish medical student Rosa Eckart flees from a freight train in Upper Silesia, which was supposed to take her to a concentration camp. While fleeing, she loses sight of her husband and son.
