Rating: - AGAIN, WHY NO DVD?
Why, oh why hasn't this incredible movie been transferred to DVD? I don't want to spend $40 on VHS at a minimum and then it pops up on DVD! One of the most gripping Holocaust Movies ever made! Emotional and powerful from beginning to end. Few movies have the effect this one did on me.
Rating: - A Brilliant Film--WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO TO HAVE IT RELEASED ON DVD?!
This is a brilliant, award-winning film that has never been released on DVD and is rarely seen on TV anymore.

Rating: - Life-changing movie
When this movie was shown originally on TV, it was also shown in my high school English class.

It's probably the first great made-for-TV film every made. That this ... Read More

This is my first review posted to Amazon....
I guess this movie aired on one of the three major networks around 1982 when I watched it. I would have been about 10 years old. Now 36, I hadn't forgotten this movie. I found a "copy/vhs dubbed to DVD" on ebay about two years ago. For the price, I suspected it might not be an original. This movie should be published on DVD.
Paragraph 175 is another movie that is on the same subject and is worth while watching.

Rating: - A true classic
Amazing movie!!This is a movie that everyone should see. Too bad this was only released as a TV movie.The performances are truly riveting. I saw this movie in the 80s on TV and searched for years to find it on video. I was lucky enough to get a VHS copy but I would love to have the DVD.
