Ernest Kleinberg Films: People Without Place

Historical documentary about German refugees from Communism who escaped to war-devastated West Germany before the construction of the Berlin Wall.
Through the experiences of one young man, the film shows that the long bureaucratic process of screening and resettlement in the West did not deter the millions of people determined to build new lives in a free country, and thereby to contribute to its reconstruction. Produced in 1953.

Ernest Kleinberg (1910-1980) was born in Breslau, Germany. He grew up in Vienna, where he became a photographer for American news agencies and Life magazine. In March 1938 he was arrested by the Gestapo for photographing Hitler's march into Vienna. Released six weeks later thanks to pressure from American friends, he escaped to New York where he resumed photography and rescued his entire family from Nazi Austria. In the early 1950s he became a self-taught film producer. He subsequently completed more than 25 documentary movies.
