What Fire Can't Burn

Synopsis

This is the love story of Maude and Herman. The locations: occupied Czechoslovakia, Theresienstadt Ghetto, the Auschwitz death camp, Berlin. When they met, Maude was a young girl of 13 and Herman was 24. By some miracle, Maude, now 69, survived. Endowed with a phenomenal memory, she remembers it all: the terror, the humiliation, the war, the ghetto, the trains that brought their love ones to their death, the tiny spark of their pure love watched over until the last trainload to the death camps separated them.
