Before World War 2, millions of ethnic Germans were living peacefully in Russia and Ukraine. In 1941, everything changed, and these settlers found themselves on the wrong side of the fence. Men were killed, and women and children were taken to Siberia where they worked in labor camps to support the Soviet war effort. For those refugees who managed to escape west, the stigma of being German never left. Waiting for Waldemar is the story of one of those families. Halfway during their journey, the Zernickel family settled in Bendsburg, a Nazi-occupied city near Auschwitz. Waldemar worked in a neighboring town to get bread for his family. The short-lived lull in the war quickly ended when the Russian front advanced without warning, and the Zernickels had to hastily flee without Waldemar. Hoping he got out safely and would reunite with them in Germany, they continued the dangerous trek west. He never returned, and nobody saw him. Seventy years later, a brother and sister try to put together the pieces of who their father was with their imaginations and third hand stories. Waiting for Waldemar is a story which would resonate with many, as the world faces the Syrian refugee crisis and racial profiling and mistrust continues in the midst of international conflicts / Release year=2017 / genres=Drama / Writers=J.D.

Thank you to Eric and his talented cast for taking time to craft this film with its little-known story. a story that needs to be heard. This is the tale of one man and one family. with application for all the world. We needed to hear it and if you haven't, don't miss it. This docudrama was sensitive and universal in theme. All people, everywhere want the freedom to love, instruct, and care for their children in a peaceful environment. It was the story of a German family escaping Russia as WW ll raged but it has broader appeal as we contemplate the plight of all refugees current and former. Lovely photography and beautiful story line.
