The War, The Cow and Me / SHORTS WJFF: SURVIVAL STORIES 
dir. Anabel Münstermann, Germany, 2020, 29 min
In 1941, eleven-year-old Eva and her family are deported from Prague to Theresienstadt and later to Auschwitz. She survives both concentration camps. Despite continuous violence and bullying by the SS, Eva manages to find a few glimpses of happiness during the years in Theresienstadt's ghetto. After the evacuation of the Auschwitz extermination camp, she escapes the death march only by a miraculous coincidence. Although Eva loses everything and she is the only member of her family to survive, she does not give up. Happy coincidences shape her life and she encounters loving people along her way – again and again. Her Holocaust story is also the story of her great, lifelong love.
