Movie Haiku:Superlative doc by multi-Oscar-winning director uncovers facts buried by the American military after WWII. 350 GIs captured during the Battle of the Bulge were transported to Berga concentration camp & worked to the brink of death. Most were Jews, had “Jewish-sounding names,” &/or “looked Jewish” to Nazi eyes. Profoundly thought-provoking. FOR MORE, SEE JAN’S WJD REVIEW IN THE FF2 “COLUMNS” SECTION.
