UnBroken chronicles how the seven Weber siblings, ages 6 –18, evaded certain capture and death and ultimately escaped Nazi Germany using their cunning instincts following their mother’s incarceration and murder at Auschwitz. Their lives changed forever when a benevolent farmer put them in the back of his truck and drove them to his fruit orchard 60 kilometers east of Berlin, where they were put into hiding in a laundry hut and spent two years on their own in war-torn Germany. Emboldened by their father’s mandate that they ‘always stay together,’ the children fought through hunger, loneliness, rape, bombings, and fear. Climactically separated from their father, the siblings declared themselves orphans to escape to a new life in America.
