Is David's? Or is it the other guy's?

the daughter has to be the other guy's (David's brother). the child was far too young to be David's.

I agree. David had been captured a few years earlier. She married his brother probably because she felt guilty over what happened to David. Remember the family kept telling her, that is she hadn't forgote her purse in the cafe, David would still be with them.

I think it was only mentioned once (about the purse) by David's mother, fairly soon after he was picked up....and it was quite matter of fact...."just think, if you hadn't forgotten your purse" or something like that.

The scene showing the baby takes place in 1947. That is two years after the end of the war and presumably three or four since David's murder at Auschwitz. The baby could not be his....

The scene showing the baby takes place in 1947. The baby is a newborn. Unless Lotte was pregnant for 4 or 5 years, it's pretty safe to say David's brother (Lotte's husband) is the father of the child. I understand where the question comes from though. Lotte faits earlier in the movie, which makes you think maybe she's pregnant. But if you observed closely, you'd have noticed she had been eating less than the others. The food was meager at best and she served herself last, ending up with less than half of what she served the others.
