Holocaust - 5/59

"Holocaust" (1978) mini-series. Directed by Marvin Chomsky. With James Woods, Meryl Streep and Michael Moriarty.

Holocaust follows the tragedy and triumph of the Weiss family of Berlin and intertwines their fate as European Jews with the story of a German family, the Dorfs, whose members include a high-ranking Nazi officer. Filmed on location in Germany and Austria, Holocaust uses the stories of these fictional families to portray the atrocities against the Jewish people from the 1930s to 1945, and presents a heart-wrenching portrait of their struggle.

This is the anniversary edition released in the U.S. and Canada in 2008.

The Kristallnacht scene frightens me. It's only seventy years ago, but I can't comprehense people would do that just because they have another religion.

There is no greater love than that of a man who lays down his life for his friends.

@charlieiscool1000 Wow, I knew I've seen him before, but, I couldn't remember from where. It was driving me crazy. LOL

[charlieiscool1000]

LOL that officer at 3:59 played Lovejoy a bodyguard in titanic years later funny seeing him as a younger man.

From nowadays perspective it is almost incomprehensible that these events did happen – however, we are watching European History – and no payments or excuses can ever atone for the violent deaths of millions.

It saddens me that these horrible people could do such horrible things to innocent citizens. Why cant our world just get along for once??? In remembrance of the 6 million Jews murdered by the Nazis!!!!!

@saravlemmings Catholics burnt people alive because they were "witches", Muslims kill non muslims because they are filth in their eyes, jews kills palestine after stealing their country. Kristalnacht was only a small fraction in history, and people only remember that part because the jews made sure we won't forget in order to get those millions dollars. Religion - highly overrated and outdated.

They are beating up the veteran of the WWI! Fucking bastards!
