Though Maya Angelou is enlisted as the solemn narrator of Hilary Helstein's Holocaust documentary, the survivors here need no help expressing their own tragedies.
10/02/09
Serves as another critical reminder of one of the world's most horrific periods, even if, cinematically, it's an affecting collection of stories and images in search of an actual center.
12/07/09
A quietly impressive testament to the tenaciousness of the human spirit.
09/24/09
Distractingly tortured metaphors are given a distractingly affected narration by Maya Angelou.

Top CriticArt executed under the most excruciating conditions deserves a far more searching study than this too short film, which has the structure of a hurried checklist.
10/02/09
Top CriticDistinguishes itself from many other Holocaust documentaries and offers a new perspective on this timeless tragedy.
10/02/09
Unfortunately, Angelou's detached and often superfluous narration lessens the film's impact.
