    A truly heart-breaking, heart-crushing, heart-numbing movie. It makes you hate and wonder and cry. Beautifully conceived, superbly directed and the many different characters of the interviewees make this movie one of a kind. It was shocking and powerful.

    I've viewed other survivors, in other films, but the difficulties with the survivors in this film was a little different. The Holocaust is an awful event that happened.

How much fun they had before the Nazi regime comes in to disrupt their lively hood. We hear their stories, and the filmmaker does a fairly good job at telling their stories. It's a different perspective of holocaust survival and am happy I was able to view this film.

    Documentary about nazi persecution of gay's and lesbians. This is an extraordinary film. Their treatment like most minorities under the nazi's was brutal and inhuman. You don't just see, you feel the pain the subjects of this documentary are still in. Harrowing to watch but an i...( read more)mportant film.
