Featured review
Recommended documentary on pre-1948 Jewish pride
I'm not of the generation to have lived through the events shown in this documentary but I am aware of the ongoing need to see History for what it is! 2002 "Political Correctness" weighs Israeli Jewish sentiments as of equal accord with Palestinian regrets and sore-loser status over the 1948 granting of a Mandate by Britain and the United Nations. How wrongheaded such historical "Know-Nothing"-ism looks in the bright sunlight of day! This documentary that was shown today (April 28, 2002) at our PBS affiliate keeps perspective on the daring and audacity of committed Jews who were part of the WW II forces to defeat Nazism and Fascist totalitarianism. When the Second World War is glossed over as something that "happened" to six million Jews, the impression that's left isn't always of a positive nature. Even though the fighting men (of quite a range, really)who tell their stories from that horrendous world conflict are an unusual minority among veterans, this aspect of a unified Jewish brigade deserves our consideration as much as does as that of a "Friend of Israel" like Oskar Schindler and his much-heralded "List." Thanks, filmmakers and producers for this job of showing 50 years later how the courage of common people stopped the NAZI killing machine in its tracks. There's no cynicism or snide remarks about conspiratorial machinations allowed in this production; no complaints given its documentary vision from this viewer. 10 *'s in my humble opinion.
