Europa! Europa (1991)

This is the true story of Solomon (Solly) Perel, a 13-year-old German-Jewish boy who was separated from his family after the Hitler-Stalin pact partitioned Poland (August, 1939). When he fled to Russian occupied Poland, Solly was placed in a Soviet orphanage where he joined the Komsomol, the Communist youth organization. When Hitler invaded Russia (June, 1941) Solly was captured by the German Army. In order to avoid being sent to a concentration camp, he convinced his captors that he was an ethnic German. Solly, now fluent in Russian, was used by the German Army as an interpreter. Eventually, he escaped again and was reunited with his brother.
