Jewish Film Festival: “Betrayed” (2020)

The 22nd Annual Virginia Peninsula Jewish Film Festival presents “Betrayed” (original title: Den største forbrytelsen). Based on true events, this Norwegian narrative film exposes how Norway’s government and people systematically persecuted the country’s Jews, and then collaborated in deporting them to German death camps. The horror and callousness of those times is embodied in the experiences of one Jewish family, the Braudes, whose members we get to know through their photographs and their prize-winning portrayals by actors, making this a very personal story for the audience. (Running time: 2 hours 6 minutes) In Norwegian, with English subtitles. Watch trailer here.
