This is an interview movie with Franz Weintraub, a Jew who grew up in inter-war Vienna just before the Nazi time started and was able to get out early enough to save his life. His account of the years 1924 to 1934 is first hand and interspersed with otherwise rarely seen film material of the period. Weintraub was a social democrat, who under the pressure from the right moved increasingly towards communism. This kind of increasing polarization is especially scary in the light what is happening in the U. S. and some countries of Europe today. Of course, even more scary is what happened to the Jews in Middle and Eastern Europe thereafter. Towards the end of the movie, Weintraub gives a gripping account of it.
