Not familiar with this one. I'll have to check it out later.

I taped it off HBO a couple weeks ago, if you have it.

Sounds very sad. I'm still reeling from the last WWII movie I watched - The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Horrid.

Oh Trixxie but that was such a good movie, even though sad, it brought to light that senseless acts of violence know no boundaries. It was also written as children's book and was told from their perspective to allow young readers to experience the holocaust thus gaining a valuable lesson in tolerance that would impact them and make a difference.
The Book Thief is a wonderful tale of the perseverance of one young girl to make a difference in her life and how one should never stop caring for others.

When the mom realized that her son was in the gas chamber - it was just too much for my heart to take - that he was gone, his friend was gone, all those people gone. I had to pause it and then come back to it. Michael had to watch it for 9th grade English.
It was very well done. I really like Vera Farmiga - she was excellent in this.

I read the book. Beautifully written, but I have no desire to see the movie. It was just too sad.
