*&^^%! Polanski.

Besides I've already seen more than my share of holocaust films, and as well as reading various books, like Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and Anne Frank's diary.

And they made enough of an impression on me that I fully support our President's attempts to end the murderous regime of Saddam.

For those younguns who haven't seen their quota of holocaust films, go to your favorite movie rental place and rent one.

But @##$%%! Polanski.

I don't understand your reference to younguns who haven't seen their quota of holocaust films.

I am familar with the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and Frank's Diary. However, as you have not seen the Pianist, you are unaware it is not just another holocaust film. Wladyslaw Szpilman, the Pianist is an extraordinary story of one man's survival in Warsaw from 1939-1945 and those assisting Szpilman include a high ranking German officer who hides the talented musician in the attic above his post of command bringing him food and his own coat for warmth. I had the same misgivings also in seeing the film, but am glad I did. You will see how over time many of the Jews armed themselves and fought back. I found it a remarkable and powerful film. It is not what you may term is "just another holocaust film."
