David (1979 Film)
''David'' is a 1979 West German film by director Peter Lilienthal. It tells the story of a rabbi's son in Germany during the Holocaust, who tries to raise money to escape to Mandate Palestine. Summary ''David'' follows an adolescent Jewish boy, David Singer, who comes of age in Nazi Berlin.
