Having taught 8th grade English for years, I spent a lot of time studying the Holo*caust. In fact, I spent an entire week at the National Holo*caust Museum in Washington DC attending the Arthur and Rochelle Be*lfer National Conference for Educators. Only 50 educators were invited, and we had the entire museum to ourselves each morning before it officially opened and each evening after it had closed. Alone, in the quietness of the museum, the exhibits were more horrific, the atrocities more poignant—the experience deeply troubled me—and for months afterwards I was haunted by what I had seen and learned.Recently, I experienced the same ominous foreboding as I watched the movie The*Boy in the Stripped*Pajamas.
The movie is disturbing—thought-provoking—
No violence—
No profanity—
No nudity—
Yet riveting—and profoundly unsettling.
I would highly recommend it to anyone.
