    There is a movie I am trying deepy to remember as it was a very good film, if someone can find the name from my memory I would deeply appreciate it!

    The one scene I remember was that two Jews were either shoveling bodies or coal or something into furnaces, there was a German officer present shouting and screaming at them; one of the Jews punched him or something and then put him onto the tray and dumped him into the fire *screaming followed*

    The next was that all of the Jews were executed face down on the ground while the two aforementioned brothers being shot side by side.

    I remember the "Holocaust" (1978) very well. It certainly touched inside. Just saw it on Finnish tv as series a while ago and I bought it on DVD series. I was 12 years old when I saw it first time. I think "Roots" was around that time period as well?

    I believe that is from the movie "The Grey zone".

    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5k-t5hF1Z0c&feature=related[/YOUTUBE]

    about 4 min 55 seconds in.. there was a revolt in Auschwitz and in that scene the prisioners threw the protesting German soldier into the burning furnace at the cremetorium..

    it was the only known prisioner uprising at Auschwitz. True Story


    Here is the movie if you like to watch it in it's entirety.

    The Grey Zone...

    Part 1 of 10

    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NFBncEzxxI&feature=related[/YOUTUBE]

    (the rest of the movie is on Youtube just click the movie to watch the other clips)

    The grey zone was mentioned in an earlier post in this thread.. there is more information about the Auschwitz uprising there.

    An excellent movie and very difficult to watch. I took the liberty of posting it in this forum for our rogues to watch. If i remember correctly type in "Come and See" in the search box and it should pop up.

    Viewer discretion is advised.

    Steal a Pencil for Me

    D: Michèle Ohayon
    Israeli director Ohayon puts a unique spin on stories of the Holocaust with Steal a Pencil for Me, adapted from the nonfiction book of the same name. In it, survivors Jack (Jaap) Polak and his wife, Ina Soep Polak, tell the story of how they met in Amsterdam before the war, ending up in the same concentration camp together and falling in love. Their main obstacle, apart from the Nazis, was Jack's jealous and capricious wife. Jack and Ina secretly exchanged letters throughout the course of their internment, first at Westerbork and then at Bergen-Belsen, chronicling their growing love for each other and the hardships they endured at the hands of their tormentors. Despite its somewhat muddled and confusing chronology, Steal a Pencil is the kind of story that makes one believe in soulmates; if Jack and Ina can find and keep each other in the middle of genocide, there is hope for lovers everywhere.

    I agree i enjoyed the storyline very much.. but I found the film to be too short.

    More could have been done with the film..

    But overall, excellent.

    Distant Journey (Daleká cesta) is a Czech Holocaust film directed by Alfréd Radok and released in March 1949, immediately after World War II. Radok uses experimental cinematography, blending historic footage of the Nazis with a fictional love story between a Jewish woman and her Gentile husband.
    Soon after the film's release, Stalinist censorship was implemented in Czechoslovakia. Radok fled to Sweden and Czech filmmakers began their long struggle against strict communist censors. Film production declined, and Distant Journey was banned from audiences only to reemerge over forty years later.
