REVIEWS
More Top-Notch Films at Cinema Judaica
By Kevin Thomas
...Incredible as it may seem, Johanna Heer and Werner Schmiedel's
outstanding "THE ART OF REMEMBRANCE - SIMON WIESENTHAL",
a festival highlight, is the first feature-length documentary
on the man who from his first day of his liberation from Mauthausen
concentration camp dedicated his life to bringing Nazi criminals
to justice. The film offers a comprehensive survey of Wiesenthal's
remarkable life and ongoing work, which includes efforts on behalf
of all people deprived of human rights. The point that Wiesenthal
makes so well is that while he may forgive his tormentors he cannot
do so on behalf of the millions who died in the Holocaust.
