This is a deep one! you are warned!

I loaded two movies (via my new favorite website) that I have been wanting to see for some time now. One intrigued me by the adverts and one simply because it seemed to win a lot of awards this year. I had no idea that both movies were based on the Holocaust. The genocide of approximately six million European Jews during World War II, as part of a program of deliberate extermination planned and executed by Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler.

If you're like me, you would have heard about the Holocaust many times in history class and you didn't think anymore about it. Well, after watching these two movies I was intrigued to really get a grip and understand more about what actually happened.

Needless to say, I was disturbed, upset and angry! I made the huge mistake of searching 'concentration camps' on the images screen of google and was horrified.

You may ask why in the world are you talking about something so deep...so horrific....so inhuman. Well my friends, I guess I write this to get it off of my chest, out of my head and 'out there....in the world of questions without answers......in the cosmic shock of things gone by'.

I can't recommend 'The Reader' as there is far too much nudity in it for my taste (both male and female frontal) however I can recommend ' The boy in the striped pajamas.' Although the soldiers son does seem a bit dense, or maybe the writing was just not that good.... but the movie will make you think! And if it does to you what it did for me... you will take a look at your own life and ask those big questions. Do I persecute people? Do I criticise others beliefs? Am I slightly racist and don't even know it? I hope the answers are NO....and always will be.

Watch it..... let me know what you think.
