In tandem with the ever-growing body of documentaries on the same subject and the data they've all accumulated, it broadens our vision of this great human tragedy.
Top CriticHeartbreaking yet truly inspirational.
Stories you'll never forget.
Students of both the dark and bright side of human nature cannot afford to miss it.
As recorded history, Into the Arms of Strangers, is indispensable. As a piece of documentary filmmaking, it's no more inventive than scads of talking-head missives that appear on cable TV every evening.
It's an incredibly moving film, alternately infuriating and heartbreaking -- often both.
This is an inherently moving story, and director Mark Jonathan Harris has the wisdom to trust that.
At the risk of sounding like a cad, I'll go ahead and admit that Into the Arms of Strangers is dreadfully boring and uninspired
A great human document, deeply moving, unforgettable.
Faces which carry history. That's what you will take away with you after watching.
One of the year's more devastating film experiences.
A must see for history buffs as well as those who want to witness just how good humankind can be in the face of adversity and horror.
After two intense hours revisiting the elemental bond between parent and child, the grit of daily life washes away.
Still resonating as powerfully today as when these black events first unfolded.
preserves some of the most poignant and effective Holocaust history ever witnessed
A compelling document.
Heartbreaking, haunting and occasionally humorous.
This extraordinary documentary can be seen as a meditation on Francis Bacon's thought: "If one be gracious to strangers, it shows you are a citizen of the world."
Using archival footage of Europe at the brink of war, Harris conjures up a moving piece of film journalism, defining love, loss, separation and a good-news moment in what was a bad-news world.
Producer Deborah Oppenheimer's journey of discovery about her late mother's past appears legitimately destined for award consideration.
