Eva's Promise

Eva's Promise

On a train to Auschwitz, Eva made a promise to her brother Heinz. If he did not survive, she promised to retrieve the paintings and poetry he hid under the floorboards of his attic hiding place. After the war, Eva’s mother married Anne Frank’s father. While the world knows Anne’s story, this film introduces Heinz, his artistry, and his sister’s efforts to find and share his remarkable legacy.
