Trivia:

Klein's insignias, uniform and medals show he is part of the Werhmacht - the German Military - and not a member of the SS. This would indicate his importance was rather minor. Although it's not a mistake, it is rather odd, as concentration camps were usually run my the SS, leaving the Werhmacht to run prisoner camps.

Goofs:

Factual errors: The medal Commandant Klein wears around his neck is an Iron Cross first class with oak leaves and swords. This medal, awarded for merits on the battle front, was only given if the recipient already had the second class iron cross, which is nowhere to be seen.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Adam Stein:I had once the beautiful Father Land. The oak tree grew so high there. Silence nodded softly. It was a dream. It kissed me in German. It spoke in German. You would hardly believe how good it sounded. The words, Ich liebe dich, I love you. It *was* a dream...

Soundtrack:

Tannhäuser Ouverture

a state of grace

For me this film is about the guilt we feel for surviving, when better one and people we love don't. Its also about what makes us rise up to two when everything around us indicates we better kneel down to four.

This is a strong film about strong feeling that every one who experienced lost can relate to, as we might find ourself some time in course of life deep in the bottom...

This film was an amazing experience for me in that sense. The acting of Goldblum, the kid and all other members actors was excellent and moving.

The directing however, was poor and in a way it was more like watching a theater show on screen then a movie. that the only thing I noticed that truly annoy me. that a pity...
