 Out of the Ashes August 24, 2010
Bill Jackson
Out of the Ashes was a terrific depiction of the horrific depiction of the Nazi behavior pertaining to the Jewish destruction. It clearly displays the need for WW II and how important it was to win the war even though we lost about 450,000 soldiers. It also demonstrates the necessity to defend a defenseless people against such atrocities and to leave a memory for those who were very young or not yet born so they are able to see a need for war in such a time as this was.

 Thought Provoking But Morally Sad August 24, 2010
Active Reader (USA)
So we justify the murder of unborn children in the name of giving birth to other children? What moral non-sense. Amazing that as a Jew she did not know the story of Moses. How the midwives did not give into fear and stood their moral ground. This is a lesson on how pride and self-centeredness will lead to murder.
The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live. (Exodus 1:17)
For a serious contrast to this hopelessness read or watch The Hiding Place. The difference is night and day, life and death.
 A learning Experience - regarding WWII June 25, 2010
Orange Crush (Chicago, IL USA)
The subject matter is sad and frightening, but the movie was informative and taught me a lot about this harrowing subject. I recommend it for those that want to learn more about this sad time in World history. Christine Lahti put on a great performance.
 Well done,eye opening June 17, 2010

This movie is well done and makes you think more about the struggles that people dealt with during the Holocaust. No movie is totally accurate on details (unless of course it's a documentary), but this movie is well put together. If we forget what happened we are likely to repeat it, but sadly it looks like we've forgotten.

This is one of the better movies I have ever seen that deals with true life accountants of the inmates in Auschwitz during the WW II. Christine Lahiti was excellent in her part as Dr. Gisella Perl.
