Movie Haiku:When to negotiate/when to take up arms? A universal question (certainly for Americans in 2009), but all the more so for Jews: memory of near annihilation still fresh; concern for Israel''s continued vulnerability palpable. Ross''s BioDoc about Rezso Kasztner presents a real Holocaust story with layers of huge, radiating, up-to-the-minute implications.
