OK, I DID read your comment again just now ? not at 2 am last night- it makes sence, going to write the mini-step outline when i?m back from work?. this is then his yourney but as already stated it will not have a happy ending for her and the children. If it had a happy ending it would be just an other story!! But what about the husband.

For me the story starts with;

(a) The to be promoted officer/husband now if he survives; him tastifing at Neurenberg. He story and will round the story up at the end of the movie.

If he does not survive,he?s killed by The Reich trying to save his family (also killed by the Reich);

(b) The story starts with the Jewish FRIEND of one of the mother’s sons (which he met on the train to Treblinka). He will be one of the +- 200 (must check the number) survivors after the succesful escape from Treblinka (think: Escape from Sobibor) The young boy will testify at Neurenberg in the beginning of the story and will round up the story – the end of the movie.

You just WON ME OVER!! Ok, at the end some small differences in opinion about het story devolving could be there.

Based on real events. After a decorated Wehrmacht officer?s family accidentally is sent to a Nazi death camp he must save them before the camp commandant dismantles the camp and kills all the inmates.?

If we see the story ONLY from husbands point of view, he does not know that a camp revolt is imminent. He’s saving his family from a death camp, not knowing that here is another possibility for his wife and kids to survive -ESCAPE.
Somewhere in the the beginning of the third act he must find out. We cannot just say the Treblinka revolt did not happen. And it’s a good storyline. It makes things complicated and ups the stakes!!

After some thought, I also DIG “is sent” in your logline. The audience now can’t say”: so what, she did it to herself, what should I care (as you already mentioned)!!
