What happens

Grünfeld - ukjent opphav er en norsk dokumentarfilm fra 2005 av Nina Grünfeld. Filmen beskriver letingen opplysninger om Berthold Grünfelds jødiske mor som var fra Slovakia og hvordan Grünfeld forholder seg til opplysningene som kommer fram. Berthold Grünfeld var kommet til Norge som syvåring i 1939 etter å ha vokst opp hos katolske fosterforeldre i Bratislava. Hans mor Frederika Grünfeld viste seg å ha vært prostituert og var blitt utvist fra Slovakia til Ungarn. Under den andre verdenskrig ble hun sendt til Polen, antagelig til utryddelsesleiren Sobibór.
