To remember: seven films about the Holocaust

The Holocaust occupies one of the saddest places in the history of human error. This is the lesson that everyone needs to learn and remember forever. Remember out of respect for those who could not meet the dawn of the next day just because he was born in his family, remember out of respect for those who suffered inhuman suffering and remained a man capable of doing and doing good. This must be remembered in order to remain a man.

Cinema, of course, could not bypass such a deep dramatic theme side. And it is right. Other options can not be. Today we will tell you about those films that, from our point of view, are the most important works about this black event in the history of mankind.

1. The boy in the striped pajamas (The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, 2008)

What happens to a person who has not yet received labels? What happens to a child who has not yet learned how to distinguish Jews from Nazis, camps from recreation centers, and how to relate “massacre of excess clothing” to mass executions? Piercing story based on the novel by John Boyne, in which everything ended exactly as it should have been. This breaks the heart and tears flow, but in the children's world there can be no separation of people into friends and foes, there is only purity.

2. Schindler's list

There are paintings that stand apart from everyone else. In this case, “Schindler's List” is a separate work that cannot be overestimated or repeated. The whole essence of the terrible event called the Holocaust, the pain and tears, the blood and wounds of the people are contained in one film. We have already written about the detailed and unknown facts of this masterpiece, do not forget to read this material. Without him, this collection would definitely be incomplete.

3. Reader (The Reader, 2008)

One of the best roles of Kate Winslet and opposite in character to “Schindler's List” is the role of Rafe Fiennes. Kate was awarded the Academy Award for the incredibly deep role of the former Auschwitz camp guard Hanna Schmitz. This is one of those films that allow you to understand how strong the wound was of the events of those times. What difficult fate created this tragedy for people who survived this event in a particular role. Understanding this is very important, because, like many years ago, the truth and rightness have always been and will be a very sensitive issue.

4. Pianist (The Pianist, 2002)

The poignant story of Wladyslaw Szpilman, a famous Polish pianist and composer. The war found him in Warsaw, which was captured by the Nazis. Through the dramatic story of a brilliant pianist, the fate of an entire generation of Polish Jews is shown, who were forced to hide with friends, wander through basements, starve, suffer and die. This is a story of goodness and mutual assistance, this is an example of the fact that such eternal values ​​as art can unite people standing on opposite sides of the extermination of an entire people. What makes this film even more dramatic is the fact that director Roman Polanski was one of the people who experienced almost everything that is discussed in the film. He was one of the Jewish children who ended up in the Krakow ghetto - and survived. This certainly makes this story even more real and hard-won from the depths of the heart. Let us separately remember the story of Wilhelm Hosenfeld, a German officer who helped rescue Vladislav Szpilman. On June 21, 2009, the national memorial of Holocaust (Holocaust) and Heroism Yad Vashem recognized Hauptmann Wilhelm Hosenfeld posthumously as a Righteous Among the Nations.

5. Sophie's Choice (Sophie's Choice, 1982)

The story, which is based on the novel of the same name by William Styron, tells us about the life of one strange couple, which the main character witnesses. It is obvious that the life of these people is broken, it does not fit into the accepted framework, it is overshadowed by the pain of the past and covered in darkness. The answer the film gives us is, of course, hidden in the title. Our whole life is the decisions we make every day. Every day, when choosing the color of a T-shirt or dress, we do not appreciate the time we live in. After all, there were times when decisions broke fate and even killed. One of Meryl Streep's best roles, for which she received a well-deserved Oscar.

6. Life is Beautiful (La vita è bella, 1997)

To remove the tragic comedy on this topic, probably, only by such a master as Roberto Benigni. Having also fulfilled the leading male role, he was able to recreate not only the life history of Italian Jews, but also the love of parents for his children, piercing in scale. To protect them not only physically, but also to save the most important thing - the soul of a small child, around which there is a real hell on Earth. Salvation at the cost of its own existence, and all so that life remains beautiful.

7. Ida (Ida, 2015)

Is humility enough in man? How much should fall on your fate so that you can continue to forgive? Can you, forgive, continue to live with your forgiveness? The winner of the Oscar 2015, the film “Ida” bypassed the sensational “Leviathan” and again told the whole world about the dark times of the Holocaust. History allows us to look at many issues from a new perspective, once again scaring us with the nature of human actions. But all the same, the force that is contained in each person must be used not only to punish for their actions, but also to give forgiveness.
