The Boy in the Stiped Pajamas

A heart wrenching tale about a young boy who moves to the "country" with his family and can see a strange "farm" in the distance. When he asks about the strange farm where everyone wears pajamas he is told not to go near there. When one day he goes against his parents' wishes and visits the farm he meets a boy on the other side of the fence and a friendship begins. This is an excellent but very sad movie about the concentration camps.

Defiance

Daniel Craig stars as one of the Bielski brothers who were Jewish men who escaped being captured during World War II. He and his brothers were responsible for protecting a group of refugees determined to not be casualties of the Holocaust. This was a good movie and one worth watching, even if solely to learn about the event.

Valkyrie

Tom Cruise stars in this film about the final attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler. As many soldiers pretended to be loyal to Hitler there were many who formed secret organizations that were determined to get rid of the evil leader. Even though the end of the story is well know it was interesting seeing how close the attempt came to succeeding.
