Inspired by the true story of a porcelain factory in Dachau, "The Porcelain Maker" by Sarah Freethy traces a love story torn apart by war and the Holocaust. In the 1920s, architect Max and painter Bettina meet and fall in love, journeying together into the whirlwind art world of Berlin. Then the Nazis take over Germany, and Max, who is Jewish, is deported to a concentration camp, where his talent for making porcelain figures saves his life — at least temporarily. Decades later, Bettina's daughter seeks to uncover her family's history, turning up new information about what really happened in those dark days.
