We all know he isn't really the sharpest tool in the shed. The Holocaust itself was, is and always will be a tremendous tragedy, perhaps the greatest we as humanity have ever suffered or perpetrated. @Teri – Couldn’t agree more :)

Reading the book first, for me, is always so much more illuminating. Movies tend to gloss over the details that a book unfolds beautifully. In the end what happened is tragic. Although it is dangerous to use today's standards to judge what happened in the past, it is still true that the systematic extermination of any people is criminal in its very nature and is wrong. No reason then nor now makes such actions valid or correct. There is no good reason. Nothing good can come from it. It boggles the mind that there are people in the world who deny the holocaust ever took place. Finally saw the movie. Reading the book first, for me, is always so much more illuminating.
