From Silence

A rigid but loving grandmother named Esther Gold has preserved her mental balance by keeping her wartime experiences secret. She finds her safe world turned upside down when local authorities place her synagogue on lock down in response to a terrorist threat and her granddaughter is being held inside. During the endless waiting, Esther travels back in her mind seeing the results of her decision to remain silent about the Holocaust and its effect on her family. She re-experiences her years in Ravensbrück, Hitler's concentration camp for women. She relives the many times her daughter and granddaughter begged her to speak about her wartime experiences. Ultimately, she will be shaken out of her fear of sharing her past. She realizes it is her duty to speak out, but will it be too late for her granddaughter to hear?
