THE SHOAH
'Lest we forget'
INTERNATIONAL HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY
Films that have moved me about the war and the holocaust in particular
The Island on Bird Street [a favourite]
Sophies Choice
The Pawnbroker - Sydney Lumet
The Night Porter
The Odessa File
Marathon Man
Schindler's List
The Pianist
The Boy in The Striped Pyjamas
Books on the subject I have read:
Yevgeny Yevtushenko - Babi Yar (poem)
Anatoly Kuznetsov - Babi Yar
Diary of Anne Frank (on whom there has been a film made every decade)
Jerzy Kosinski - The Painted Bird
I highly recommended any of these . . . . . . lest we find history repeating
I grew up with this picture as I believe it was in the Family of Man exhibition catalogue which my grandparents and parents owned |
