I started out really liking this movie. The scene with Dr. Janusz Korczak and his orphans being led to their deaths singing was chilling, the directing and acting was fantastic, the scene with Adam Czerniakow and the Menorah was so funny my brother and I laughed out loud. But I was thoroughly disappointed by the way they left it. You see, the ending is too... Optimistic. 'The human spirit strikes out against the Nazis', is ridiculously hollywoodic, and I can't understand why this won an Emmy. They forgot to mention that the resistance failed- or actually succeeded, since it was never their intention to fight for freedom, but for dying with honor- and everyone died in the end. Oops, I guess they forgot to mention that, why spoil a good Hollywood ending?
