Movies

1) Saving Private Ryan- a movie starring Tom Hanks about the journey to rescue a lost paratrooper named private Ryan. It is set during the Invasion of Normandy, and is an unbelievable depiction of WWII.
2) Valkyrie- A movie with Tom Cruise about his plot to kill Hitler. It eventually costs him his life, but it is extremely powerful and it is extremely powerful to have Hitler play an actual role in the movie instead of just being mention without being shown.
3) Schindler's List-  A film about a man named Oskar Schindler, and how he saved thousands of Polish Jews by employing them in factories. Extremely moving
4) The Boy In The Striped Pajamas- A film about a family in which the father works for the Nazis. They move to a place that the rest of the family discovers is next to a concentration camp. The young son befriends another boy at the concentration camp, and the film is about the two friends, who know each other from opposite sides of the fence, literally.
5) The Pianist- A film with Adrian Brody, who plays a Polish Jew that is an extremely talented pianist. The film takes place during the outbreak of WWII and the invasion of Poland
