Year: 1978
Directed:
- Marvin J. Chomsky
A Touching Saga
I'm not Jewish, being raised a Baptist in Shreveport, LA and pretty much an agnostic since going to college. But this series was very moving because of the irrational hatred being directed against people who didn't seem any different from the haters. I agree that Meryl Streep's role was terrific among a plethora of talented actors. Regarding the Holocaust itself (I've visited the museum in Washington, DC), what a tragic waste of human lives.
Holocaust
I'd seen this movie in the 7th grade. It changed my life and gave me an appreciation of the freedoms I have today. br> It is an excellent story and a MUST to see.
Harrowing, Disturbing,Real.
*(If anyone knows when this DVD will be released please say so i would very much like to know)
I have only recently come across this mini-series after renting it from my videostore and only even heard of this when researching more on Meryl Streep after viewing her incredible performnce in "Sophie's Choice".
Admirers of Ms.Streep won't be dissapointed in her performance nor will they with the rest.
Spanning over a decade (1935-1945), "Holocaust" focuses on the Weiss Family of Berlin and all the terror that each individual faces during their darkest days.
The characters are endearing and audiences will easily empathise with the strife they face.
This docu-drama is an accurate and on several occasions, highly disturbing account of man's inhumanity to mankind.
It's won 8 out of 16 emmy awards (1 Emmy which Meryl Streep won) and deserves each one.
I believe that every jewish man and woman should see this film and anyone else who is interested in History's blackest decade.
