I went through a vast range of emotions as I watched this movie, but none of them were the fluffy feel good kind.  I found myself sad, mad, scared and even sick at my stomach a few times.  It was obvious to me that the Nazi regime knew that they were wrong, or they never would have felt the need to lie about the treatment of the Jews in concentration camps. 

Another thing, how in the world did the guy filming this go home and sleep at night.  How did he sit down at a table and eat at night? How did he keep from sneaking out some of the children somehow or someway?  Was he part of the Nuremburg trials as a defendant?  If not, then why? 

Seeing the disregard for the dead was pitiful.  There had to be something that they felt.  I guess what it all boils down to is I never would have made it long on either side.  Standing up for myself would surely have gotten me killed, or I would have been killed because I would have stood up for someone else.

I can’t help but to think that if enough would have rallied together things could have been different.  I know that still there would have still been causalities, but not the scale that it was.  I know how people believe things now about people and they become indifferent to a race, religion or whatever because of the things that they have heard.  I also realize that things are very different today, and maybe because of things that happened in our past we are the way we are today and should be grateful.  But I do not know how one society could ever get past, or not hate what happened to so many of them. 

I am glad that we have documentaries like this so that if it is ever necessary we can look back on the past and make sure that we do not make the same mistakes.   Also so if ever necessary, we may see how one group of people did not allow themselves to hate a culture of people for the treatment of the generations before.
