All Catholics should watch this DVD
This film, in the framework of World War II, helps Catholics understand the silence of many local church leaders on injustices happening right now. Consider the Iraq War. John Paul II and Benedict XVI made multiple powerful statements that the Iraq War is unjust. Nonetheless, many Catholics are unaware of this in the US as US church leaders fear losing memberships and even student enrollments as ...

The Grey Zone
I had been seeking this movie for quite some time. I had been told by several outlets that the movie was no longer available. I looked it up on Amazon.com and was able to find the product. It was purchased and received in a very timely manner. The movie was what I had expected and I could not be more satisfied.

Raoul Wallenberg: Buried Alive
Raoul Wallenberg

Direct Cinema Limited, 2007

RAOUL WALLENBERG: BURIED ALIVE carefully reconstructs the true story of a young man who became one of the great heroes of World War II without wearing a uniform or firing a gun. Raoul Wallenberg, a wealthy Swedish protestant, personally saved the lives of at least 100,000 Hungarian Jews from the Nazi Holocaust.

Poignant, Moving Story
A beautifully acted and produced movie. I highly recommend it for the quality and the story. I've got a library of 150 books on the Holocaust, and about 20 movies, and this one is definitely one of my favorites.

Fortunately, a trusted Dane working in the German's Command learned of the plan a day or two before it was to happen, so he secretly warned the Jews. Within a matter of hours, the ...

Platinum Disc, 2005

A Classic!
Superbly acted, this is a neo-classical tragedy which transcends the parameters of its historical setting. Don't mistake this for another run-of-the mill yarn on Nazism or the Holocaust. It brings to the fore the basic struggles of power,righteous revenge, choices, and the timeless question of why does God permit evil and suffering in the world.

Dead Men's Secrets - Whatever Happened To Raoul Wallenberg?

A&E Home Video, 2006

Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg worked in Budapest at the height of Hitler's "Final Solution", and saw Jews being loaded onto trains destined for Nazi concentration camps. But Wallenberg, unlike many others, refused to sit by idly, but rather, saved many earmarked for death by issuing Swedish immunity passes. Before disappearing in 1945, he's thought to have rescued 100,000 people. We follow the trail uncovered by his family and researchers in ...
