Out today is Lore, the new film by Australian director Cate Shortland, which is based on Rachel Seiffert’s book The Dark Room.

The plot follows the five children of a Nazi officer in the last days of the Second World War who are trying to reach their grandmother. On the way, they meet a Holocaust survivor who shows them photos.

The photos are genuine: they are of the German Jewish family of Ms Shortland’s husband, film-maker Tony Kravitz, whose grandmother left Berlin in 1936.
