Holocaust - 57/59

"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 place is littered with landmines. They should have instead focused on arming every prisoner and destroying the ovens, then trying to escape.

Alan Arkin protrayed a real hero by the name of Leon,who was murdered by antisemite Poles a year or so after the War ended. Leon was the real leader at Sobibor who rebelled against the German Nazi Murderers at Sobibor.

There's a movie called Escape From Sobibor on YouTube with Alan Arkin.

This movie is based on real events-this scene contains some of the details in the true story-escape from Sobibor. You can view it here on You Tube in its entirety.Shalom!

@flute4hire the timeline for the events are off somewhat, notice how they stopped showing what year it was supposed to be much earlier in the series? i think its a minor flaw considering that they did well to show many of the more well known events that happened throughout the holocaust...they sacrificed certain things obviously to make the story fit together.
