A good watch: Escape from Sobidor

[Dave-G]

Escape from Sobidor: ITVX is a very good 3 hour watch regarding a less known about Nazi death camp and forced labour of Jews.

I personally think everyone coming of age ought to watch films like this to separate genuine hardship as opposed to what their ideas of hardship are and count ourselves and themselves very lucky to have seen nothing of its like in their and most of our own lifetimes.

I watched this film too, and was well worth it.

I have seen it good watch i also watch a fair bit of actual footage of these camps on youtube  as you say the youngsters of today should see what there Grandfathers fought for

Is it the Rutger Hauer one from a few years ago or a remake?

I watched this about 30 years ago !

Its a good film, but a far better 'educational' watch is the Holocaust series of around 40 years ago.
Both bring home the raw brutality, and resilience of people.

If it’s the one I think it is, where there is an aerial view of hundreds of naked men and women holding hands with naked children as they queued for what they were told were showers, then yes, it’s a very good film. 
I recall that scene effected me greatly at the time, and despite being in my mid’ 20’s, I went upstairs and had a proper weep.
