Never Forget

Never Forget

His memory is the last link between murder and justice.

1991 · 94 min · ★ 5.0 · TV Movie, Drama

Mel and Jane Mermelstein are a true-life California couple, thrown into the spotlight of judicial history in the 1980s. Mel is a Hungarian-born Jew, sole-survivor of his family's extermination at Auschwitz, and Jane, a Southern Baptist from Tennessee. Their four children are good kids, typical Americans, with just enough orneriness to irritate each other, but enough love and class to pull together when it counts.

Directed by Joseph Sargent · Written by Ronald Rubin
