I watched it in school and found it really sad but that boy was friends with a Jewish boy and he didn't know what was happening I despised the person who killed them and now he is died that won't bring them back but it will make the world today a better place because if you watched this then you will not hate Jewish or other people different to you because you are different to them

A film based on The Holocaust, it is on BBC quite a bit. I first watched it on BBC iplayer and some parts are a bit intense, ESPECIALLY the ending. Also, a serious film which shows the true horror of The Holocaust and how evil some people can be. Sad, but a good plot.
