This is part of what I consider to be an alarming trend for Holocaust movies

Posted by Jazz Inmate on December 16, 2008 at 00:22:34:
It really started with "Schindler's List" but emerged in much more disturbing fashion a couple years ago with "Black Book" and seems to be continuing to some extent with "Pajamas" and "Valkyrie". The trend seems to be increasingly to ignore or downplay the stories and experiences of Jews and focus more on the story of Germans, in some cases nazis who are reinvented as some sort of heroes as in Black Book or Valkyrie.

This has got to stop. We do still get the occasional important Holocaust film, like last year's foreign language best picture winner, The Counterfeiters and before that The Pianist. But mostly we are getting a lot of BS that is aimed at appeasing Germans and casting the nazis in a more human light. Hollywood sure has its head up its arse.
