Haven (2001)
Gruber was an amazing women who deserves better than this POS
I am from oswego and a full fledged history nut. I had low expectations but this film didnt even meet that. I have to admit while I was familiar with the safe haven story it was not until much latter that I found out it was just one small chapter in a truly amazing woman life. I do know the town welcomed the refugees with open arms . They refused to send teachers to the fort insisting that the children go to school with everyone else. The mayor at the time was a des dems and does kind of guy ..really he as illiterate but won election based on hard work with a big heart which included the refugees. Gruber didnt date a Nazi in Germany.....she was 16 and staying with a jewish family..Oswego was welcoming from the start and there was no "how the grinch stole Christmas" moment where everyones hearts grew while searching for a lost child . I hope someday this story is told by someone who actually cares about it . Gruber deserves better
