worth seeing

Rating: 8/10 (11 January 2005)

This film gets sucked up as fuel for propaganda by those in the west who continue to nurture the Holocaust industry for all it's worth. This film stays true to the filmmaker's desires, which is to present a quasi-historical, quasi-fictional account of the German incarceration of Jewish prisoners in WWII.
The film does a good job of depicting the dehumanizing treatment and mental torture, as well as the robbery of prisoners' personal effects.
The acting is very good and the pace is lively. For a long film, it's easy to watch.
It's good that there are films like this, but it's a pity that Hollywood hasn't made a similar film about the Palestinians who are holed up in the refugee camps, with Israeli occupation tanks and such surrounding them. It would make an interesting epilogue. Perhaps one day.
