The movie was well done but it turned out be yet ANOTHER film all about the Holacaust and I am tired of that theme.

I'd give it a 7 or 8 out of 10. Engrossing and dramatic, it recreates a very dark time in the 20th century without the use of flashbacks to the Holocaust. The faces of the characters convey the Holocaust. It's a film about the mystery of evil.
