Subdued. Reflective. Sorrowful. Emotional.
I recently watched Life is Beautiful, which I had never seen before. I proceeded to watch that same night Schindler's List. I just watched The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. I can't quite put all my feelings into words. I find this time period fascinating--one of my favorites to study. It is also something that I can't even imagine. I watch these movies and sob.
The author of the book The Boy in the Striped Pajamas said this, "their lost voices must continue to be heard; their untold stories must continue to be recounted. For they represent the ones who didn't live to tell their stories themselves."

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas was interesting. I don't know how I feel about Remus Lupin playing that role. Those little boys were so adorable.
Katie,
I, too, cannot wrap my head completely around these movies. They make me wonder how I managed to be born at this time instead of that time....and what would I have been like had I been born then. I watched Life is Beautiful 5 times! I haven't seen "Pajamas" yet...have to be in just the right mood for a movei like that!
