[quote]I’ve never been able to figure out why the Nazi’s hated the Jews so much, nor why they hated them so much that they wanted the entire race exterminated. All Jews, each and every Jew. Maybe that’s because I can only hate in the singular, not the plural. For instance, if a Jewish man broke into my home and smashed my valuable record collection to pieces with a sledgehammer, I’d hate him for it. But I wouldn’t be hating him because he was a Jew, but because he destroyed my record collection. So how the Nazi’s could murder millions of Jewish people who had done them no harm is beyond my understanding. I suppose it only proves that there are some very evil people in the world. I am not Jewish myself and know very little about their religion. But being murdered not for anything you’ve done, but because of who you are is an appalling thing to happen to anyone. I have not seen the film [i]The Boy in Striped Pajamas[/i] as yet. Maybe I’ll take a look at it one day. But I hear it’s a good film, even if it does have an odd title.[/quote]

veritas	yet to see this film but Gita Sereny's books are excellent to get a good feel of pre war Germany. Especially her biography of Eva Braun..fascinating in it's depiction of banal evil.

Some might say that re-electing Blair after he'd ordered the invasion of Iraq and approved of the consequences makes us all partly responsible. The same can be said of the Germans who stood by and did nothing to stop Hitler, although it's true that in both cases there have been people who have spoken out against the regimes. The Boy In Striped Pyjamas was a good movie spoiled by a bad ending. I think it was based on a book, so not entirely the scriptwriter's fault. I'm also not sure what the point was. For me, The Pianist was a much better movie.

david	very true, IA. the Nazis killed gypsies, gay people, political prisoners etc. but (referring to an earlier post) if we confuse Nazis with Germans we too will succumb to racial stereotyping. And that is bad. Always.
Innocent Accused	Didn't impress me much as a film,but that's just personal taste. As a sidenote rich jews trying to make a point with these films,then sending money to support the state of Israel,which does similar things to the Palestinians seems a bit of a contradiction. The Nazis didn't just hate Jews,what about Eastern Europeans,Gypsys,Gays,Communists? ....they destroyed many,not just the one group. The only lesson to learn from the whole war period is 'tolerance'.We're still a long way away from that,& I feel gettin' worse.
