we all heard of the holocaust . we all know about the evil nazi and the atrocity that happen during that horrible time and but none of u be there . it hard to imagine what it be like and what those people go through . this be the story of a modern girl in a jewish family . she be not interested in hear the story of her relative who survive the concentration camp because the idea be so foreign to her it almost laughable . she reluctantly attend a passover seder with her parent where her aunt and uncle talk about the camp and she just dismiss the conversation . when she go to put out the ceremonial cup of wine for elijah and the profit she be transport in time to a village in poland ( i think it be poland ) . everyone recognize her a hannah ( her ancestor she be name after ) . she wake up in a surreal wizard of oz like set where she be awaken after an apparent illness . her cousin rifka ( play so sweetly by brittany murphy ) try to help her jar her memory of be her cousin from lublin who be visit . they walk through their quaint village a everyone be prepare for a wedding . hannah be confuse and but seem to just go with her new reality without too much question . after the wedding be over several car pull up to the village with nazis with gun and truck to transport the jew to the camp . the people be scar and confuse and but hannah be the most terrified a she have the terrible forsight of what be about to happen . she try to figure out what be go on and whether she be dream and hallucinate and or what and but eventually realize she be now a jew in a concentration camp during world war 2 like it or not and she have to let fate play out . this movie be powerful . to see the holocaust from the perspective of someone who already know what have happen be chill . from the time they arrive at the camp and be strip of their clothes and dignity and money and possession and have their hair shave and be force into slave labor and eventually murder . obviously the girl ( hannah ) life would be change forever if she ever wake up from the nightmare . great film .
