Ripped another hole in my heart on this subject

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2011)

Every film I've seen on the Holocaust has been devastating having to accept the the actions of 'people' of this world, that such evil can be so widespread - true seeds of hatred, that still sow their weeds. This story shown through the eyes of a child is so heart wrenching - it seemed to bring me so close to the actual events. My heart broke when Bruno lied about knowing Shmuel.... and it kept breaking - the ending - I saw this on cable and just sat there at the end - the only thing moving were the tears streaming down my face. I highly recommend this film - it's on an hour and a half - we should all revisit this horror - no one should ever forget. I am having my 13 year old watch this, we've discussed the holocaust events on several occasions; I think this film provides an excellent perspective from an innocent soul of some of the history behind these horrific events. If you have children between the ages of 10 (?) depending on child's maturity, and up - I would watch it with them; be ready to discuss it and possibly have other resources to share. Another reviewer mentioned it was his first review - and mine too - After watching this film I wanted to know more about it - for me to through a registration process (ugh) - I really wanted to share and recommend the film.
