A candid look at what life was really like for those living in, and under Hitler's Swastika - at home - and abroad, a record not only of what they saw, but of what they knew.

Story line
Absolutely fascinating first hand historical evidence in the form of home movies, diary entries and reminiscences by survivors. The only criticism is that it resorts to the seemingly typical requirement of documentaries these days to give screen time to "experts", in this case committing the egregious sin of occasionally cutting to the reaction of those "experts" as they watch the film, rather than allowing the film to speak for itself. A fascinating short film made by those in hiding in Amsterdam during the Occupation is marred by continually cutting to the "expert" watching and her reaction. And as for whoever James Holland is, continually cutting away from the actual film to spend time on his face as says "look at that" or makes some vapid observation drove me batty. Where we can view these films without being subjected to being interrupted for these vanity shots?
