In the past week I have found myself watching and reading all manner of Holocaust-related books and movies--Devil's Arithmetic, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, Milkweed, Downfall, and the Hiding Place. Not my usual diet. I make it a habit to teach the Holocaust at some point every year and have done nearly my whole teaching career--there's a story behind that. I was reminded last night while watching the Hiding Place of this movie and this particular scene. I love it.
I love that movie and how far this man will go for his son to shelter him from war and keep him safe! I wonder if the rest of the men were mad at him for not finding out the rules?

ReplyDeleteWhat a great scene. I love that little boy and the love his father has for him. Heartwarming!
