Summary Out of Europe chronicles the story told by my cousins, aunts, and uncles as they were forced to suddenly leave their homes in Belgium and make their way through the treacherous hurdles experienced in escaping the tightening Nazi-Vichy vise of 1940. The film shows how each person individually and collectively survived from day to day. Out of Europe is a rarely told story of survival, of my large Jewish family's extraordinary good luck in attaining freedom. The intimate memories of being refugees provide an emotionally alive first -hand telling of a journey by car, truck, train, and on foot through France, Spain, Portugal, and finally, to freedom in the United States.
