also understand another terrific Holocaust film is coming out, "The Counterfeiters."
It's an apocryphal story of how much better Jewish concentration camp "helpers" fared and how they felt because of it.
Meanwhile, during this interminable onslaught of Israeli propaganda masquerading as historical self-pity, the slaughter and imprisonment of Palestinians continues.
Imagine yearly films, several of them, depicting the genocide against the Native-Americans? Or the several hundred years of hideousness toward African-Americans?
Holocaust: terrible, yes. Of course.
Worse than any other genocide? No. Worse than the many more millions killed by Stalin or Mao? No.
It's rather remarkable Israelis cannot empathize, AT ALL, with people being displaced, imprisoned, and de-humanized.

...Israeli agression against Palestinians - shameful. Those who support it are, and will continue, to reap the whirlwind.

But as you know I disagree strongly with you about Diving Bell/Butterfly.

BTW, I think it quite reasonable for the Holocaust to be the subject of Austrian filmmakers - in fact, the director of The Counterfeiters is not Jewish.
