Unfortunately, the story is unremarkable.

Guy falls in love, She’s Jewish. The state denies their marriage, they proceed anyway. He goes to jail/concentration camp. She is arrested and killed. He is conscripted into the army, and goes missing (either he bolted or was fragged). The end.

I was expecting more of a story, how after 70 years, at age (?) he had done this or that, It was a predictable outcome considering the time and place. Doesn’t make it right, but how many others had it worse without the photograph.

By your definition, what happened to most Jews in Nazi Germany was "unremarkable".

The entertainment industry was in its youth back then. Now we have much more remarkable things to watch, like the Kardashians, football games, and American Idol. That whole Holocaust thing was interesting back when people entertained each other by tapping spoons together and rubbing sticks on washboards, but it’s really unremarkable by today’s standards.
