Masters of Silence

















Helen and Henry have been taken to an orphanage to hide from the Nazi soldiers.  Their mother has returned to Germany to try and find their father who was taken.  At first Henry refuses to speak but soon, with the help of a local clown Marcel Marceau, her begins to find his courage and a way of expressing himself.  But as the Nazis get closer the nuns decide that the children must flee to Switzerland with help from the famous mime.  

This was really interesting especially the inclusion of Marcel Marceau based on his real activities during the war.
