Movie Haiku:Daum, child of Holocaust survivors, has 2 sons now raising their own families in an Orthodox enclave in Jerusalem. Concerned about their separatist extremism, he engineers a family trip to Poland to find the Christian farm family who rescued their maternal grandfather. Great intentions, but some big questions handled too obliquely.***** For more, see the “Columns” section for Jan’s WJD review.
