I'm always on the lookout for a good Holocaust film that's genuinely disturbing (or at least disquieting) and not just some Schindler's List-wannabe melodrama that's so concerned about being heartwarming that it seems like it's trying to ignore the suffering of millions to focus on the salvation of a few thousand.
I've the first third of it and it does not skimp on the reality of the Holocaust. It's about a group of Jews that were treated well because they were doing a lot of the dirty work at the concentration camp. I would like to finish it when I get the chance.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
