Last night I saw the film "Lore," a German/UK co-production, adapted
from a novel by Rachel Seiffert and directed by Cate Shortland. It's a
story about 14 year old Lore who is left by her parents to take care
of her five siblings, so that they can go into hiding to avoid arrest
for the crimes they committed during the 4th Reich. In the beginning
Lore greets people with "Heil Hitler" and tearfully laments the
Fürer's death, "he loved us so," she says....but in the course the
grueling journey through defeated Germany, seeing corpses, witnessing
rape, experiencing hunger, seeing news reports of what happened, she
little by little comes to the realization of what actually took place
and the guilt of her parents. Eventually they reach their Omi's house
in Hamburg where there is clean clothing and plenty of food & when for
a moment it looks like a "happy ending" - but Lore's awareness has
gone beyond the myths spouted by their grandmother - "don't ever be
ashamed of what your parents did..." The strongest moment of the film
is when Lore disobeys Omi's etiquette and destroys the shrine of
porcelain Schwarzwald creatures that are part of the German mythology
