 "Amit's gloriously expressive paintings are as
arresting as they are haunting... an exceptional
entrée for discussions about history and, most
importantly, profound kindness in the
face of cruelty."

Based on a true tale of survival, Angel Girl is a story of love, hope, and the strength of the human spirit.
It is 1942. Herman is a prisoner in a Nazi labor camp, forced to work long hours. His only nourishment comes from a soup made of water. His will to go on is fading.
Then she appears. A young girl on the other side of the barbed-wire fence--an angel girl, bearing food and hope in the most hopeless of times. She seems like a miracle.
For Herman, the miracles have just begun. Years after the war, on a blind date in New York City, he meets a young woman who lived near his labor camp during the war. Could it be his "angel girl?"
