Humanizing Nazis is the only way to tell the true story of the Holocaust. That real human beings were able to perpetrate such evil is the tragedy that must be prevented.

Nazis were humans and that is the point. They weren’t mindless evil robots. However, they behaved like mindless evil robots. That there was a group of humans, the Jews, that had this happen to them is only half the story. The other half is that there was a group of humans that did it.

As long as films deny the humanity of the Nazis they will never get anywhere near truly portraying what happened.

Until we understand what can go wrong in the human heart to allow people to commit such atrocities, the atrocities will continue to happen over and over. If we deny that evil doers have hearts in the first place we understand nothing. Nazis weren’t born evil.

You seem to be saying that even though some elements of Holocaust films are actually true they shouldn’t be included because they create moral complexity. Until you grapple with the complexity of the Holocaust you know nothing about it.

It’s as if you want to scrub Holocaust films of any element that doesn’t fit in with the way you yourself think history should be portrayed…even if the element happens to be true. Guess who else did that, Chris.

Also, some of your points only have one example. One example does not a trend make.

You might just think, hell, wouldn’t it be nice to see some Palestinian view points in Cinema without that other potent label “Terrorist” hovering above them - and wouldn’t this make a change from the relentless zionist pap we get fed year in year out…..but of course, even if you do have these thoughts, you’re never going to say them out loud. No body wants their latent Nazi, Jew murdering inclinations to be aired in public ….Best keep your dark tendencies to yourself, zip your mouth and be on your way
