List (1993)

The
Pianist
VHS Tape from Umvd
starring Adrien Brody, Thomas Kretschmann, Frank Finlay
directed by Roman
Polanski
Winner of the prestigious Golden Palm award at the 2002
Cannes film festival, The Pianist is the film that Roman Polanski was born
to direct. A childhood survivor of Nazi-occupied Poland, Polanski was uniquely
suited to tell the story of Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Polish Jew and concert
pianist (played by Adrien Brody) who witnessed the Nazi invasion of Warsaw,
miraculously eluded the Nazi death camps, and survived throughout World
War II by hiding among the ruins of the Warsaw ghetto. Unlike any previous
dramatization of the Nazi holocaust, The Pianist steadfastly maintains
its protagonist's singular point of view, allowing Polanski to create an
intimate odyssey on an epic wartime scale, drawing a direct parallel between
Szpilman's tenacious, primitive existence and the wholesale destruction
of the city he refuses to abandon. Uncompromising in its physical and emotional
authenticity, The Pianist strikes an ultimate note of hope and soulful
purity. As with Schindler's List, it's one of the greatest films ever made
about humanity's darkest chapter. --Jeff Shannon - Amaozno.com

Uprising
(2001) VHS
VHS Tape from Warner Studios
directed by Jon Avnet
Originally broadcast in November 2001, this exceptional made-for-television
film recalls Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan while forging its
own distinct identity. It was the first American film to dramatize the
Warsaw Ghetto uprising of 1943, during which an underground collective
of Polish Jews dared to defy the Nazis. Hank Azaria leads an all-star cast
as resistance leader Mordecai Anielewicz, and the film follows his close-knit
collaborators (including David Schwimmer and Leelee Sobieski) and their
battle against the Nazi general (Jon Voight) assigned to clear all Jews
from Warsaw. The uprising was eventually crushed (some heartbreaking outcomes
are listed in the closing credits), but director Jon Avnet expertly maintains
a sense of courage and hope amidst the palpable horror of the Warsaw Ghetto.
Combining physical and historical accuracy with intimate character details,
Uprising is suspenseful without being sensational, thus honoring
one of the greatest symbolic victories in all of Jewish history. --Jeff

& Yad Vashem VHS
The first documentary in this two-tape set, The Holocaust and Vad YaShem,
traces the rise of anti-Semitism in Germany from the end of World War I
through to the horrors of the concentration camps. A lot of information
is covered in a fairly short period of time, and so this is by design an
overview. The basics of how Germany's defeat in World War I led to the
Jews being portrayed as villains are covered, as is the rise of Hitler
and his ultimate plan to kill more than 11 million European Jews. Archival
photographs and vintage film clips, including grisly film of German units
dedicated to killing Jews executing prisoners in the field, show graphically
how the Final Solution operated. The second documentary in the set, Displaced
Persons, takes up the story from the end of World War II, when as many
as 10 million homeless people found themselves wandering on the roads of
Europe. Using interviews with participants, including a former member of
a British airborne unit that liberated a concentration camp, the documentary
describes the problems faced by refugees, including the difficulties many
had in reaching Palestine. Both these films are intelligently produced,
but one technical problem should be noted: the transfer to video from older
film stock means that the picture quality often suffers. Robert J. McNamara
