Greatest Holocaust Movie I've Ever Seen!!!
13 January 2005 | by (Denair, Ca) – See all my reviews

This portrayal of Dr. Gisella Perl is the greatest movie about life inside the fences of Auschwitz. As a history major, specified on the Holocaust, I believe the cast and crew of this movie really knew what they were doing. Every time I watch it, tears form in my eyes as Lahti portrays Perl in the scene where she pulls her sleeve up to the U.S. men explaining how she was not a collaborator, how she was a prisoner, and that she had the identification number to prove it. I hope that this movie did Dr. Perl justice and her family see's what a tremendous woman she was. Now every time I do any research project or paper for a history class concerning the Holocaust, Nazi era, or Hitler, I bring up Dr. Perl, and explain how it takes more than courage to save all the lives she saved... it takes love, compassion, and devotion to her fellow inmates and all the persecuted victims. This movie deserves more than one award.. it deserves to be in some kind of Hall of Fame.
