Days of Broken Glass

Germany, 1938. After witnessing a strange vision while leaving the synagogue, only a few days before Yom Kippur, a modern-day Israeli man travels back in time more than fifty years into the past. He finds himself in the aftermath of Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass, a turning point that marked the beginning of the end for Germany’s Jewry. When he arrives, he discovers that no one sees him as he really is, a man from another time. Instead, he is treated as a high-ranking officer in the German army: Colonel Rudolf Kellner.

To avoid detection, he assumes Colonel Kellner’s duties, yet, the more deeply he adopts Kellner’s identity, the more the line between the two begins to blur.

Who is the real Rudolf Kellner: a ruthlessly efficient German officer, or a devoted family man with a strong sense of morality and justice? A monster following orders, or a man trapped by circumstance?
