A highly emotive movie

Rating: 8/10 (19 June 2006)

Spielberg outdid himself with the emotional portrayal of the atrocities inflicted on the Jewish and other "non master-race" people of Eastern Europe during 1933-1945.
I was not a total Keneally fan until I read his book, and Spielberg brought the book to larger-than-life in an unforgettable movie.
The most memorable aspect of the film is the little girl in red who appeared to be looking for a loved one through the wall of German Grey. To this day, either in book or film, I am unsure as to what happened to here.
Having studied German for a short time the people of today have not allowed themselves to forget what their leader perpetrated on the world during those horrible years.
"Whatever you do, don't mention the war," quipped John Cleese, as Basil Fawlty. Personally, I think not to mention the war would be forgetting these innocent victims.
