Ewa was born in the WWII concentration camp Ravensbrück. Joe reached freedom as a lonely child without his family. And Irene still remembers how her mother covered her eyes to save her from seeing the horrors of the Holocaust. In Spring 1945 Ewa, Joe, Irene and thousands of others were rescued to the Malmö Harbour in Sweden. Together with the Red Cross volunteer Stig Kinnhagen and Malmö citizen Bo Fröberg they tell their amazing stories from the moment of liberation to the unsolved mysteries still affecting their life today. …the film is so well mastered and captures your interest from start till end… Harbour of Hope review by Danish film critic Tue Steen Müller End
