Movie Haiku:Fascinating 4-generation doc traces one family personally negotiating the post-Holocaust rift between Germans & Jews. Tom was born in Israel; her German mother married a Jew & lived on a kibbutz, but never converted. After years abroad, Tom brings her 2 children (both born in Germany) "back" to Israel. And now they ask her: Do we really "belong" here???
