Life is Beautiful
As to movies depicting the Holocaust I have found the Italian film, "Life is Beautiful" quite wonderful. It resembled the archetypal fairy tale in the knight rescuing the maiden. But then it entered into the history of the holocaust where the knighthood of the humble Italian waiter displayed itself in his heroic levity in the face of the meanness of the concentration camp---all for his child and his wife. Yes, a story to live on in us as we hear still the opera Barcarole midst the brutality and yet the final triumph of goodness.
