The TVI Take
A businessman saves his Jewish workers from the Holocaust. Educational value is profound: the film documents both the Nazis' industrialized murder and the possibility of individual moral action.
Cognitive engagement from the ethical choices and the historical context. Emotionally devastating and historically necessary.
