The Devil's Arithmetic (2003, DVD)

Great transaction. I was looking for this product. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Excellent movie. I would recommend this movie to buy. My 13 year old daughter and I read the book and then watched the movie together. We really enjoyed both. The movie was very well done.

One of my girlfriends favorite movies. Hard to find as it was a showtime release. Best to get on ebay

The movie was created to allow children to learn about the holocaust.

This movie, based on a best-seller children’s book by the same name. is a way for parents to introduce the holocaust to their children. Many concentration camp horrors are played down. But, the basic conditions, and Nazi crudity are well depicted. I encourage parents to watch this movie with their children.

Other Important Holocaust movies.
1) I have personally spoken with dozens of holocaust survivors. There is one overwhelming thought. Once the Nazi net was cast to round up Jews in town or community, there was no escape. Those that did escape the net did it by luck. In every case, it was by pure luck.

The movie that best shows the luck of survival is: The Pianist. It is for adults, not children.

2) Beyond watching movies related to the holocaust, one must think about what should be learned from the tragedy.

A middle school, 100 miles from the birth of the KKK, was looking for a vehicle to teach their all white, Christian students tolerance. They chose the holocaust. What they learned, should be studied by all of us. Everything is documented in a movie on DVD called: Paper Clips.
It is suitable children 12 and older. This movie too should be watched by parents with their children.

I purchased this as an accompaniment to the study of Anne Frank. My eighth graders on every level loved it. It was clear about the horrors of the Holocaust without stepping over the boundaries of appropriateness for this age group. LOVED IT.

I bought the movie as a learning tool as I am studying the holocaust in depth. The movie flows nicely and is an interesting story. Great generation gap story to see how awful thing really were. Never Forget 6 Million
