Sorrow: The Nazi Legacy

The Holocaust was never discussed in the Rubinstein home. Every story ever told had a happy ending. That was until Naomi Azar's parents took a trip back to Hungary.

SORROW: THE NAZI LEGACY
$39.95
A group of six Swedish teenagers, two of whom are Jewish, embark upon a journey to Auschwitz in an effort to try to comprehend the incomprehensible. A preliminary visit to Wannsee, where the implementation of the "Final Solution" was determined, sets the stage for the teens' pilgrimage. Yet no amount of intellectual explanation of the facts as they occurred can adequately prepare the group for their own emotional reactions after having spent time in Auschwitz. A meeting with one of the camp's survivors, proves to be at once full of pain and sorrow, yet full of hope for the future. The pilgrimage comes full circle as the group returns to Stockholm for a meeting with the son of a high ranking Nazi official. They struggle to comprehend, "How could all this have happened?" "Especially relevant for high-school students who may also want to screen The Wannsee Conference."-Booklist Selected Videos for Young Adults, American Library Association International Emmy Award, Children & Young People Honorable Mention, 1994 Columbus Int'l Film/Video Festival "This program is recommended...It is clear but not oversimplified, and it will generate discussion and appropriately complicate thinking about this segment of history."-Video Rating Guide Blue Ribbon Winner, American Film/Video Festival Bronze Medal, Int'l Film and Television Festival
