Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 12/07/2009
3/5
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. Go to Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News 10/02/2009

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. Go to Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post 10/02/2009
2/4
Unfortunately, Angelou's detached and often superfluous narration lessens the film's impact. Go to Full Review Steve Ramos Boxoffice Magazine 10/02/2009

08/09/2011 Very inspiring people mostly children using art to work through the horror that happened to them. See more 11/21/2010 Art inspired by the direct experience of Holocaust survivors...many of them done at that time. Haunting. See more 11/18/2010 As Seen Through These Eyes tells the survival stories of Jews during the holocaust who escaped death by creating art (or despite it.) Their stories are very compelling and horrifying, but the actual film narrator seems detached and actually unnecessary. See more Read all reviews
