Au nom de tous les miens (1983) - film review

A man named Martin Gray tells his story...  It begins in Warsaw, in 1939.  Like many other Jewish families, the Grayewskis will be caught up in the horrific ordeal of the Nazis’ entrance into Poland.  Having taken control of the city, the Germans drive the entire Jewish population into a ghetto that will become infamous.  The Jews are later cleared from the ghetto and most are sent to the concentration camp at Treblinka.  Martin is himself sent there, and his mother and two younger brothers end up being killed.  Martin manages to escape from Treblinka and finds his father in Warsaw, where the remaining Jews have built up an army against the Germans.  But in the insurrection that ensues Martin’s father is one of many who will be killed...
