the point of this film be not as much to be great art a it be to educate people about the holocaust . in that sense and i think that many poster here be unfairly blast it and hold it up to some high artistic standard . believe it or not and there be many in this world and especially young people and who have not clue one about the atrocity commit against the jewish people . this film would be an excellent introduction ( along with other film such a diary of anne frank ) for young people into this very real and recent historical nightmare . to read comment here about how bad the german accent be and how the german deserve good than this and lead me to suspect the sincerity of those post them .
