War thrust them together. Love will tear them apart. Inspired by a true story... When the Nazis invade a sleepy Polish town in 1939, Mirek Kozlowski swears to keep everyone in his orphanage safe at all costs. However, despite his struggles and sacrifices, the war drags him and his children deeper and deeper into its violent nightmare. To add to Mirek's woes, a scarred young woman he befriends thrusts him into confronting an agonizing choice. Can he really hide away while his friends and neighbors suffer the horrors of the Holocaust? Or should he risk the lives of his 89 children to fight for what's right? And just when he thinks things can't get any worse, the arrival of a sadistic SS captain brings unspeakable atrocities to the town - and surprisingly, a glimmer of hope for Mirek to save all those he cares about if only he has the courage to grasp it... A story of love, bravery, and compassion, A Song of Silence explores one of history's darkest hours and how, even in the face of overwhelming evil, one man can become a dazzling beacon of light.
