*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
The stars of this film, and they really are stars, met in Amsterdam as Hitler's rampage got under way. Miraculously they were transported to the same concentration camps not once but twice. Despite the fact that he was married to another woman Jaap courted the younger Ina and their love and their luck somehow delivered them from an evil so appalling that it is still impossible to grasp. Every smile from these two wonderful people and every laugh they have together reminded me of Steinbeck's comment in East Of Eden: "It occurs to me that evil must constantly re-spawn, while good, while virtue, is immortal." Certainly Jaap & Ina show us that goodness still walks amongst us in this world but the terror of what they went through in '43,'44 & '45 reminds us that all it takes is one man with a cold-heart and a clever tongue for evil to be reborn.
