A story of a humans struggles, hopes and triumphs

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2003)

It makes you cry and in parts stare with amazement. The holocaust was the worst case of human cruelty and torture ever. This movie portrayed the hope and fears of the Jewish community and the struggle to survive. I think I cried throughout this entire movie and I never cry. To know that it was true and that all these people were tortured is terrible. Roman Polanksi did a superb job of directing this film and really getting the emotions out of the viewer. The characters were all wonderfully acted and Adrien Brody did a top notch job. Not a comedy to laugh at but rather a true story of never giving up. I recommend this film to everyone because I think it gives a good idea of what the Jewish people faced in World War II.
