Product Description

From Amazon.com

Originally a made-for-TV miniseries (that won a slew of Emmy Awards), this film follows parallel stories: those of a Jewish family in Germany from 1935 to 1945 and a German (Michael Moriarty) who rises in the Nazi ranks until he is overseeing the death camps. Genuinely haunting and truly sorrowful, this series was many people's first introduction to the impact that Hitler's Final Solution had on everyday Germans. Of course, it helps that director Marvin Chomsky had a cast that included Fritz Weaver, James Woods, Meryl Streep (who won an Emmy for her performance), and Ian Holm. Still, it is powerful storytelling in its own right. --Marshall Fine

5.0 out of 5 stars An eye-opener!, May 21 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Holocaust (VHS Tape)

Merryl Streep is of course really great. But the movie shows the saga of not only a Jewish family but goes to great lengths to demonstrate the intimate feelings of the victims. The stories and characters are unforgetable. It is historically accurate too! The video also portrays the life of a Nazi leader who was "just a guy looking for a job" during the Depression and ends up being responsible for the murders of millions of people. This is an eye-opener!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Films About the Holocaust, Jan 3 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Holocaust (1978) (VHS Tape)

I first saw this miniseries at the age of 14. As a young, black female, I had heard only bits and pieces about the Holocaust and really didn't understand the Nazi atrocities. That all changed after watching 8 hours of this miniseries. From that moment on, I developed an overwhelming sense of empathy for Jewish people and hatred of Nazism. My own race had suffered horribly during slavery but I had never heard of nor seen anything like the cruelty of Nazi Germany.

It is now 2004. I am watching a rebroadcast of the Holocaust. After all these years, it still ellicits strong emotions from me - tears, anger and fear. Yes, fear. Fear because something like this may happen again. Fear because antisemitism is growing throughout the world. Fear because people are trying to deny the truth of the holocaust.

This miniseries gives me hope though. Hope that people will never forget and never want to be a party to such inhumanity, cruelty and horror. The strong performances, historical accuracy, and excellent writing make this miniseries not only a great piece of filmmaking but also a piece of evidence that hopefully will keep any human being from treating another like a piece of garbage.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly Surprised, Aug 19 2008

By	Poetkitty (Victoria, British Columbia) - See all my reviews

Seeing this on TV as a teen, I was curious to view it 30 years later. I was prepared for a dated, corny, watered-down version of what occurred during that terrible time in history. I was more than pleasantly surprised! Joseph Bottoms' acting aside, the rest of the cast ran from good to stellar. There is a wonderful juxtaposition of the Weiss and Dorf families, which is unique to this story. This is subtle and grand, public and personal, and while we are horrified, it also makes us think. A relevant and worthwhile DVD to add to your collection.

This film is more important for its historical impact than either its verisimilitude or aethestic quality as drama. Read more
