Ingrid Garner’s internationally acclaimed adaptation of her grandmother’s award-winning WWII memoir delivers an account of war that is more relevant than ever. “Eleanor’s Story” traces 9-year-old Eleanor Ramrath Garner’s path from the U.S. to Germany, where her family moves in pursuit of work during the Depression. But when war breaks out as they are crossing the Atlantic, return home becomes impossible. While desperate for allied victory, Eleanor’s family must endure allied bombings, hunger, gestapo threats, the fierce battle for Berlin, and the horrors of Russian occupation.
