The booted men in gray came searching down her street in Dynów

They might not have stopped had a neighbor not caught their eye and nodded toward a house where the girl’s father hid on an upper floor
The searchers were in and out in mere moments

when Adolf Hitler enforced the “Polish Action,” expelling all Polish Jews living in Germany
Berger dedicated a memorial plaque commemorating her father’s life — the first of hundreds of “Stolperstein” markers that are to be placed around the German capital to memorialize the lives of Polish Jews exiled in the Polish Action
Berger said placing the permanent marker moved her deeply
“It meant a lot because it is the only memorial that we have for my father,” said Berger
So it meant a lot to have something done in his memory.”

Historians are now devoting more attention to the expulsion
whose significance may have been overlooked because of the Kristallnacht pogroms that destroyed 1,000 synagogues and sent 30,000 Jews to concentration camps less than two weeks later
“The Polenaktion was the first mass deportation from the German Reich,” Pickhan told a university publication
“It was no coincidence that its victims were Poles living in Germany
The Adlers’ refuge in Poland was short-lived
surprise invasion of Poland soon brought the Nazis to Dynów
they herded 400 Jewish men from the town into a schoolyard
the rest were marched into a forest a half-mile from town
and made to dig a mass grave with their bare hands
“My dad was a family man,” Berger remembered
“The day before that happened he was very worried
He just felt that something was going to happen

His 2006 obituary in the newsletter of Long Beach’s Temple Israel led Mickisch to Berger
Mickisch told Berger that commemorative plaques were being placed on sidewalks in Berlin near where Jews deported in the Polenaktion had last resided

Bill Murray wakes up to the same Sonny and Cher song for more mornings than we know
In the 2014 sci-fi adventure flick Edge of Tomorrow
it takes endless repeated days of training with Emily Blunt for Tom Cruise to become a competent soldier
Andy Samberg has relived the same day so many times that he's just given up
In Boss Level, Roy Pulver relives the same day hundreds of times, and what he wakes up to is a bit more jarring than Sonny and Cher. Roy's eyes open to a machete hacking into his headboard, a screaming dental hygienist running for her life, and not long after that a helicopter hovering outside his apartment and a guy with a minigun making like Neo in The Matrix
We watch as a small army of eccentric hired killers take Roy out again and again
from the unwashed Smiley (Michael Tourek) who spears Roy through the chest with a harpoon and drags him around the city
to the sword-wielding Guan Yin (Selina Lo) who yells her name dramatically after each of her many kills
It takes the memory of a waiting birthday present for Roy to start unraveling the mystery
During one of his time loops, Roy survives long enough to call his estranged wife Jemma (Naomi Watts) only to learn she's dead
A flashback reveals that the day before Roy's time-looping begins
he visits Jemma at Dynow Labs under the pretense there may be a job waiting for him there
dropping hints and insisting Roy open the birthday present she sent him
It takes until Roy's 141st attempt at surviving the day that he remembers the birthday present
revealing the book The Mythology of Iset and Osiris
though it takes him a couple of more kills for him to successfully read the book — due to trying to read the book at inopportune times
We eventually learn the book refers to the Osiris Spindle — the device Jemma has developed for Colonel Ventor
Roy follows him to a retro video game convention in Underground Atlanta
and shortly afterward realizes this is his first time surviving the day past 12:47 pm
the killers track him down and execute him as he protects Joe with his body
as it lets him know the killers couldn't find him because he was underground
meaning he has some kind of electronic tracker on his body
In the Chinese restaurant where he's been killed so many times
Roy talks to the annoying security consultant Dave (Sheaun McKinney)
who helps him discover he has a tracking device in his tooth
finally giving him a snowball's chance of surviving
At one point he gets Colonel Ventor dialoguing enough to use the Osiris Spindle to remake time as he sees fit
Using his wealth of days to become an expert swordfighter courtesy of the visiting Dai Feng (Michelle Yeoh)
Roy is able to penetrate Dynow Labs and even kill the villainous Colonel Ventor
only to discover that on almost every attempt
Ventor has sent someone to kill his son Joe
Roy goes wild and moments later an energy wave encompasses the entire city
He wakes every morning to the machete and lets it fall
he resolves that he'll live his endless days with his son
usually ending them on a park bench just as the world ends
It's because of his time with Joe that Roy discovers there's a chance he can save Jemma
But he only has 14 minutes from the time he wakes up
Roy finally saves Jemma moments before she'd be murdered
He learns Jemma purposely set him on a time loop so he could figure out what to do
and that the only way to stop the Osiris Spindle from destroying the world is for him to enter the machine's core
Entering the core not only stops the Spindle from overloading
The problem is he has to relive the day one more time
The movie gives us an upbeat but purposely ambiguous ending
Roy's last piece of narration is "Piece o' cake" as the machete hacks into his headboard one more time and Roy gets up to take care of his attacker
And if Boss Level does well enough to warrant a sequel
