I did not get the impression that this was the theme of the movie from the previews -- I wonder if they had marketed it better than it might have performed different in the theatres. It came across as yet another Stand and Deliver or Dangerous Minds to me.

I've heard stories, like my best friend's visiting concentration camps in Austria. She said she experienced a feeling of desolation she never experienced before. Many years have passed after the horrendous massacre, but she says you can still feel it in the air. Just thinking about things like this makes my heart cringe. To think there were human beings who considered themselves capable of deciding on the fate of others. Hatred... Such a horrible world, such a horrible attitude. It doesn't matter in what form it comes. Despising others and wanting to hurt them "just because" is something I just don't understand. The movie made me want to know more about the Holocaust.

When I was little, before I even knew what the Holocaust was, I started having nightmares about being in, what was unknown to me, a concentration camp where all of my family, except myself was killed. This went on for about a year before I finally confided in my parents who, then, told me what that the "setting" of my nightmares was, what it was all about etc. Crazy how something I knew nothing about in Elementary school plagued my dreams. it was a horrible time in history that, hopefully, will never be repeated.

Humanity was wiped off the face of the planet because of how evil they had become. I'd like to think that if we started all over again that humanity would have a chance to do better and forget all the hatred from the past. I guess that just shows that the nature of man tends to be petty and focused on the physical here and now instead of the spiritual.
