Notes et avis

This is the possibly the WORST fictionalization and misinterpretation of the Holocaust out there. There is no educational or historical value to this film. It is a sad misappropriation of a very real and traumatic series of events. As a Holocaust historian, I beg you: DO NOT WATCH this movie. If you must, however, then please realize this isn't based in fact, reality, or even probability and if you for one second begin to sympathize with the Commandant, his wife or his son, you are as bad as the other perpetrators, bystanders and deniers.

It was just too sad, At first the family died then the Little boy died last? Who would ever make a 😢 movie like this, Atleast it was worth dying for, He went in there WITH his friend. That was kind of him but sad cause he didnt know what was going to happen either, All together none of those people deserved to die, They all was innocent.

This is a great film, alas it's about a lie we are told about the poor jews of WW2. Do research and you will find the truth. The so called gas chambers had WINDOWS with doors that open IN.. if bodies got piled so high they were up to 4 to 5 feet how could ANYONE open the doors to empty said bodies. None the less, this is a great movie/story. Worth watching as long as you remind yourself it's fantasy.
