Zusammenfassung:	Long is the Road the first feature film to represent the Holocaust from a Jewish perspective. Made by and about Jewish displaced persons, the film was shot on location at Landsberg, the largest DP camp in U.S.-occupied Germany. Effectively mixing neorealist and expressionist styles, the film follows a Polish Jew (played by Israel Becker, one of the founders of the first professional Yiddish theater company in postwar Germany) and his family from the thriving Jewish community of prewar Warsaw through the horrors of Auschwitz to the frustrations and instability of refugee life in the DP camps, and culminates in the emergence of a hope for rebirth and renewal in Israel. (NCJF) The story of the fate of the Jelin family from the moment they are driven out of their home in Warsaw into the Ghetto up until the present state of the deportation camp which still fails to offer a concrete perspective for the future following the persecution but the occassional hope of a life in a Jewish state. The son of Jakob and Hanne Jelin, David, manages to escape from the deportation train on its way to Auschwitz and joins the partisans. He survives and, at the end of the war, discovers that his father has been killed and that his mother is lost without trace. In Warsaw he becomes aquainted with Dora Berkowitz who doubts the death of her parents and does not know how she can go on. Both leave Poland and travel to the American occupied zone of Germany. Here David hopes to find his mother and then leave Europe. They are brought to the overcrowded DP camp in Landsberg where they finally marry. The story ends with the mother being located in a German hospital and the hope that they can all soon leave Germany. (Fritz-Bauer-Institut)
