5.0 out of 5 stars A great story that most can afford., October 9, 2010

This review is from: The Only Way (DVD)

Great story of the Danish jews escape plan from the Nazis in WWII. This is a powerful movie that is affordable and it's nice to see in light of the 'Criterion" movies such as "The Sorrow and the Pity", The Battle of Algiers", "Army of Shadows", and also "Danish Solution", all of them excellent in their own right but rather pricey. Pick this one up if you're interested in escape/resistance themed war stories.

This review is from: The Only Way (DVD)

I was not familiar of this true story of how the people of Denmark protected and saved almost all of the 8,000 Jews with only a 24hr notice. They had made a pact with Hitler that while they were under German control the Jews would be left alone. Well this holds for only 3yrs as we know Hitler was not to be trusted and we know what he did with the Jews. The people of Denmark were so brave and acted as one!

It is quite moving. Not as violent as most holocaust accounts. A good introduction for older children. I love stores of how people helped people in WWII taking no thought to the fact they would die also if caught, they just did what was right. This is a film everyone should see.

We must never forget this time in history.

This review is from: The Only Way [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Set in 1940, THE ONLY WAY is the story of a Jewish family's attempt to flee Denmark before the German Army occupies the country. This low-key movie was a co-operative effort of four nations.

Historical note: Danes refused to turn Jews over to the occupying Germans, and some 7,000 were eventually provided safe passage to Sweden.


As of 12/08, "The Only Way" was not available on DVD.

Also recommended:
THE ARYAN COUPLE(2004) is the story of a Jewish industrialist who must turn over his business to Hitler's government in order to secure for his family safe passage from the country. Stars Martin Landau as Joseph Krauzenberg. (DVD only)
