Certain things may seem hard to imagine nowadays. Not just because of certain technological advances, but just what happened and what was done to people. Humans are capeable of ruthless and horrific things ... and while you are not going to be a witness to the holocaust itself, the dread, the agony, the fear ... all can be felt here. You feel for the family - their journey is quite something to behold.
If Germans are able to do one thing right, it is dramas about the third Reich, warnings of sorts. Even if some still may not be entirely convinced of the despicable things that happened back then, the movies can only try to educate us as much as possible (outside of history lessons that is).
Very well acted, very well told and a true story (even if there are some things that may have been heightend for story telling purposes - overall it does feel like it does the situation justice though).
