grim flowers of despair
"Lord send me tears", the Rabbi cries in despair in one scene.And he has many reasons. Trying to be a bastion of hope to his doomed flock. People dying around him. Others diseaparing onto trains to the camps never to be heard from again. His daughter is raped by an SS officer. His son returns from the dead a demonOddly enough, he gets his tears and from a most unlikely sourceHolocaust films are by nature not happy since the genre is that of death and despair. Yet this film does give us hope in the end.

Poor acting, poor dialogue. Don’t bother.
I idid not like this show. But I was able to follow it. I don’t know who is writing the screen play for this but I think it is for the young folks who do not know what quality is. I never felt a thing for these Jewish people, I did not care. What a shame as I have been searching for quality stories of the Holocaust and what the Jews went through. This is not one of them.
