Black Book Plot and Cast
In 1956 Israel, Jewish teacher Rachel Stein unexpectedly meets an old friend at her kibbutz, bringing back memories of betrayal during the war in the Netherlands. In September 1944, her hiding place is bombed by Allied troops. She contacts a resistance member and joins Jews being smuggled across the Biesbosch to the freed South Netherlands. Only Rachel escapes a massacre by German patrols and is rescued by Gerben Kuipers's resistance group. His son is captured smuggling weapons, so Kuipers asks Rachel to seduce SS-Hauptsturmführer Ludwig Müntze—a mission that reveals the boat attack was no coincidence.
