A lovely, surprising psychological, emotional, and spiri-
tual look at survival and the many perspectives of love
in the death camps and their aftermath, this textured
retelling of several stories experienced by Holocaust sur-
vivors playfully employs different genres to provide a full
portrait of couples whose families were eradicated. We
see intimate interviews, archival footage, film excerpts,
current chronicles and dramatic reenactments—all in
the same bright, loving movie. It even includes
Hollywood examples and Yiddish cinema! Explaining
the "sweet mystery," filmmaker Klodawsky has crafted
a warm, universal film that is a testament to the healing
power of love.

Here is an interesting pair of films. Two stories - one
in which impossible odds and politics are defeated
in the interest of doing good, and another in which
good is defeated and evil allowed to flourish.

There have always been questions regarding
Allied inaction to help European Jews during
W.W. but no question has aroused more
controversy than the bombing of Auschwitz.
This is the first documentary to present evi-
dence of what the Allies knew about
Auschwitz and what actions were or were not
taken. Narrated by Mike Wallace, the film has
never-before-seen imagery, intelligence on
German defenses and Allied bombings in the
region. Director Stuart Erdheim has also
assembled an amazing group of survivors,
scholars, pilots, bombardiers and photo inter-
preters. Shock-ing and amazing!
