Editorial Reviews

In the cold of December 1943, three Jewish children flee Nazi-occupied France and find refuge in a Catholic school run by Sister Gabrielle. At first, the nun’s young students are afraid to shelter the refugees from Nazi soldiers who are determined to capture them. But the students come to sympathize with the trio’s plight and finally even risk their own lives to protect them. Together, they devise a bold escape plan – but will it carry them to freedom or cost them their lives?

4.0 out of 5 stars A fine film that promotes cultural diversity and sensitivity, March 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Miracle at Moreaux [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This film, set in World War II France, deals with a group of Christian students who have the reality of the Holocaust thrust upon them when three Jewish children appear at their boarding school in need of a haven from the Nazis. The nun who runs the school must deal with the danger of the situation while the children must confront their won prejudice towards Jews. The plot is fast paced enough to hold the interest of Jr. High students while never sacrificing the deeper issues of cultural diversity and the Holocaust. While originally made for T.V., this film provides a great teaching tool for students learning about World War II, prejudice, and decision making in the fact of peer pressure and danger. While some scenes are intense, there is nothing objectionable for Jr. High age students.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of My Holiday Favorites, November 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Miracle at Moreaux [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I first saw this movie in high school, and I've never forgotten it. Three Jewish children flee the Nazis and must take refuge at a small Catholic school in France. Strong performances from Loretta Swit and the rest of the cast. A wonderful message about tolerance. Viewers of all faiths will appreciate the beauty of the miracle of Hanuukah. Truly inspiring.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Miracle at Moreaux (DVD)

I am 24. As a child,I grew up wathing Miracle at Moreaux along with my younger brother. It was a wonderful experience because the movie is very clean and innocent but at the same time captured my attention every time I watched it. It helps people of all ages learn history in a very impactful way. I hova now purchased the movie for my collection and to show to my children in the future.
