I realize that. I am not questioning that you understand YOUR conflicted feelings, but will everybody? There are those that will see this couple as representative of all Jews...
Ohhh, no, actually the movie was very well done. And other than my own “That poor wife” moments, the viewer gets caught up in what was the reality of life in a concentration camp. I will say that other than that one issue, the film was remarkable. And this couple were not evil cads or anything, I just thought that too much emphasis was placed on how the couple felt disregarding the wife’s situation. My personal hang up really, as I have been the wife in my own life before. But as far as the jewish experience... certainly not portrayed them as negative. Just human.
Please watch it and tell me what you think! Seriously, the footage is worth it if nothing else! It’s free to view here;

I think I understand what you mean about making the jews look bad, as there does seem to be a haze about that lately. Makes me uneasy with all the “Israel is evil” crap I see. No, this movie does not portray jews negatively, not at all.
