A different and effective approach to a difficult subject

Rating: 10/10 (27 January 2001)

There are plenty of films that show the true graphic horrors of the holocaust - this is not one of those and, in my opinion, there is a place for a production that comes at the issue from a different angle. Anything that promotes knowledge and prompts questions about the holocaust, and through a lack of violent scenes can be shown to young children must be a good thing. Don't watch this film for historical accuracy, nor is it light entertainment, but it is compelling and the humour makes it all the more human.
