Edith Han was an outspoken young woman studying law in Vienna when the Gestapo forced Edith and her mother into a Jewish ghetto. Edith was taken away to a labor camp, and when she returned home months later, she found her mother had been deported. Knowing she would become a hunted woman, Edith went underground, scavenging for food and searching each night for a safe place to sleep. Her boyfriend, Pepi, proved too terrified to help her, but a Christian friend was not. Using the woman's identity papers, Edith fled to Munich. There she met Werner Vetter, a Nazi Party member who fell in love with her. Despite her protests and even her eventual confession that she was Jewish, he married her and kept her identity a secret.

Movie Reviews

The New York Times - 9/10 by A.O. ScottPacked with revelations and withheld information that comes to life; it is like an old movie castle full of false fireplaces and trap doors.
Boston Globe - 9/10 by Janice PageOne of the most compelling films the Holocaust has yet produced.
New York Post - 8/10 by V.A. MusettoIf you can't beat 'em, join 'em. That about sums up the amazing story of Edith Hahn Beer, an Austrian Jew who survived the Holocaust by passing herself off as Aryan.
San Francisco Examiner - 8/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonThough The Nazi Officer's Wife is more a story of cunning survival than it is of torture, pain and death, it still manages to capture the horror of that insane and shameful period of human history.
Christian Science Monitor - 8/10 by David SterrittSarandon narrates and Ormond reads excerpts from Hahn's memoir, supplemented by archival footage and interviews with the survivor herself.
Village Voice - 7/10 by J. HobermanA powerful account of living in isolation and constant terror.
TV Guide Magazine - 7/10 by Ken FoxAt a brisk 97 minutes, the film skips over many episodes that make Hahn's book a pulse-pounding page-turner, but offers her rare perspective on both sides of civilian life during those nightmare years.
The A.V. Club - 5/10 by Tasha RobinsonWell-crafted but frustratingly superficial documentary.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews - 4/10 by Donald J. LevitUnmistakably among the better screen treatments of the Holocaust.
User Review - 10/10 by Irene SOmg, what a great documentary of Edith Hann beer. a Jewish girl growing up in Vienna who had to pretend to be a Christian to be able to survive world war ll. narrates by Sarah saragon. a must see. You meet her, her daughter and see photos and documents.
