Review of Ich bin! Margot Friedländer

When I was a child I used to hear many stories of war time from my parents and grand parents. Other than people of today who only know this time from books, photos and told meomories and despite all curious questions they weren't keen to elaborate about the time, the horrors they experienced -"you don't want to know that, believe me" they used to say- and instead taught me to be friendly, open-minded, courageous, not greedy, not mean, self-confident, sturdy and positive. I was impressed how they emphasised to see the good in all and an inevitable forgiveness was in that. This I also found in this movie. Maybe, that's the essence of survival - to be happy that it's over and to keep the best in you and pass this on as a rule of life.
