Jakob the Liar

Plot hole: In the scene at the end, when Lina is on the train leaving the ghetto you can see other kids with her, but earlier in the movie Misha said that all the kids were gone from the ghetto.

Factual error: In the very last scene the train is stopped by the Russian army and their tanks. The tanks are T-54's, which were not produced until 1955. (01:53:28)
