Anecdotes
The film contains a scene where several characters are loaded onto silver-colored vintage railway boxcars. As of early 2018, the set for this sequence still exists behind the Albertson's grocery store on Crawford Street in downtown Denison, Texas.

Gaffes
In 1918-1919, young Liza holds a newspaper with a headline about Lenin's death; in the next shot, she reads a newspaper with a headline about the U.S. Black Tuesday stock market crash, while saying in voiceover that 10 years have passed and she is now 19 years old. In reality, Lenin passed away in January of 1924 and the U.S. stock market crash occurred in October of 1929, less than 6 years later.

One House Many Tenants

The "House" in the title is an elegant mansion in the Ukraine that silently shelters opposing forces of World War II. One Jewish family house-sits for a General who exits stage-left very quickly for political reasons. His house sitters need to make the same quick exit into hiding, which begins their epic saga, a well acted and directed survival story that you are compelled to watch from beginning to end. I was impressed with the quality of this quiet little film that tells such a huge story of human spirit. Battle scenes of freedom fighters, aerial bombings of a train bound for freedom, frightened hungry fugitives hiding under bushes in the dirt, trusting in the kindness of strangers. The strength of spirit of these Ukrainian Jews stands in proud juxtaposition to the memory of the cruelty accredited to those notorious Ukrainian guards who manned the camps. It must be something in the water. See this film. You won't be disappointed.
