Lena: My 100 Children (1987)

The little boy is going to be bathed A story about a woman who did her best to help Jewish children caught up in the holocaust during World War 2. The truly harrowing and horrific events are barely done justice here, in a film that feels somehow artificial and contrived, with the permanently empathised facial expressions looking amateurish.

Lena is helping someone bathe small children, and a little girl is brought forward; when her dress is removed it is evident it is a boy; an older boy roughly explains that, "If you're a male, the German can tell you're a Jew by pulling down your pants." This sequence is very brief with the boy only seen more or less fully dressed, from behind.
