Three movies about war and conflicts…

- Remembrance by Anna Justice

This movie is based on a true story. I made some researches because i didn't understand some scenes and characters in this movie.
The main male character, Tomasz is not Jewish but he was in the Polish resistance and has been arrested and sent to a camp. He met Hannah.
I tried to understand why his mother was so nasty with Hannah, the Jewish woman he fell in love with.
First, i thought that they were all Jewish and the mother was a sort of des-Baal Teshuva: she refused her son to be with a Jewish woman that could be dangerous but also she denied her religion because G-d abandoned her during the war.
But it's worse, she is not Jewish, and an informer. Capable of the worse things to keep her sons alive.
She is disgusting.
The scenes that i preferred in this movie are the ones shot in Brooklyn. The actress, playing Hannah older, shows her how she is moved when she knew that her first love, Tomasz is alive.
Suddenly, she is out of her current life, and all her souvenirs of these dark days, but full of love, came up to her mind.

I will talk about the other movies later, i can't do right now. See below!

Today, i am, once again shamed of my country with the last events, on the Bastille Day Eve.
I am shamed. People like Jean Moulin, a man of the French resistance fought for human rights and for saving my country from the hands of the nazis, and he was not Jewish.
The mini Crystal Night happened in Paris. Some Jews have been threatened in shul. They had to wait inside that the police came to save them. They received stones, and slogans like: "We will kill all of you."
Some Jewish stores, besides Bastille, have been destroyed.
Minor events lead to a Holocaust, if my memory works well.
I have never seen Jews in the streets of Paris gathering, protesting, and say: "Death to all the Arabs, Muslims, Africans…". NEVER!
My country has opened its door to anyone from any race and religion.
If you don't like Jews, go back to your countries, or a country where there are no Jews, or other races, religions that you don't like.
Is it a failure of the democracy and the freedom of expression in my country?
I want to scream and cry, and i am scared!
