5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than "Miracle at Midnight", July 29, 2000
By A Customer
It's odd that Disney withdrew this video since it is perhaps one of the finest made about the Holocaust, particularly the difficult decisions that both gentiles and Jews had to make about their relationships after the Nazi anschluss with Austria. Unlike Denmark, which held no inherent animosity toward Danish Jews, the situation was not the same in Austria. There was far more pressure put upon Austrians to join the Nazis' anti-semitic frenzy, and many Austrians willingly joined in. This movie takes the situation to the difficult personal and family level. It is proof of that song in "South Pacific"--"You Have to be Carefully Taught" (to hate and fear)--is right on the money. The two movies complement each other perfectly, showing two different situations and how each of them ultimately evolved.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Friendship Worth Following:, December 3, 2004
Vienna 1938 - The innocent friendship between schoolmates Inge and Lise creates tension between their families because Inge is Jewish, and Lise is the daughter of a high-ranking Nazi. With Hitler in power and World War II about to erupt in Europe, it's a time for fear and uncertainty for all. But as the persecution of the Austrian Jews increases, the girl's courage grows and their special friendship triumphs over discriminimation.
Emmy Award winner Ed Asner (Roots, Lou Grant) stars as Inge's grandfather with Oscar nominee Jane Alexander (Kramer vs. Kramer) and Stephen Macht (Cagney & Lacey) as her parents. This award winning film is a compelling tale of unselfish loyalty and courage - it's sure to become a family favorite!

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this video, September 26, 1997
By A Customer
I am a teacher of 7th graders and I have shown this movie to my students when we studied Anne Frank and the Holocaust. It was very effective in bringing the horror of that time period to life. The fact that the movie features two early adolescent girls, one Catholic and one Jewish, made it easy for my students to identify with these characters. I also appreaciated that this movie was not about blood and gore, but focused on the emotional costs of the build up to the Holocaust, how two young girls' lives were turned upside down and torn apart by the events of history. I think we live in a world that has become numb to blood and violence and gore, because of how much of it permeates the airwaves of our culture. This movie, I feel, reached below that numbness. I especially recommend the movie to 12 and 13 year olds. END
