Review of Amen. (2002) by Denise H — 21 Nov 2009
The Boston Globe gave this movie 4 1/"2 stars (see movie cover)...I give it 5 stars! A movie you need to watch over and over to understand the political machinations being done during the 1930's and WWII.
The Jews were being killed in "death camps"...all the world leaders knew. It was documented, there were eye witnesses and protests but NOTHING was done except some general "tsk tsk's".
In the 1930's when the insane, the crippled were killed in Germany because they were "non-productive" citizens there was a public outcry in GERMANY and the killings of these people stopped.
When the Jews were rounded up (in plain site on a day-to-day basis), people believed they were being "re-located" to work camps....millions of them. Yet some people followed their hearts and worked to denounce these atrocities.
And this story is about two of them...
