Lieber Hans
Claudia Richarz
Two poignant minutes are enough to remind us of the inhumanity and cruelty of war. In 1943, Maria writes a postcard to her brother Hans on the front lines – in the hope of seeing him again soon. Many years later, the filmmaker examines the card. She is Maria and Hans’s niece.
