The problem with this film is not it's relevance to history. It's the continued narrative perpetrated by Israeli's who have already selfishly and greedily hijacked the holocaust as an on-going justification for their current foreign policy (which is criminal). However, in this film, the audience's intelligence is insulted beyond comprehension as the protagonists are almost caricatures and history is told through the eyes of saccharine viewing children. The Nazi's (of course) are blood-thirsty, removed bureaucrats, while the French jews are portrayed as harmless, benevolent, life loving people who simply love one another and may as well be angels. This narrative is told time and again, giving the viewer no reason or context with which to view the history of anti-semitism. The intelligent film-goer will feel manipulated, even though the question of good vs evil is intact. The point that is constantly airbrushed out of history is that Germany was not simply a nation of 'Nazi's'- just as Jewish people were not all Zionists's. But to please the politically correct thought police is once again the more important virtue than representing a complex and comprehensive historical event. This may as well be Batman vs (insert villain).

I've seen this movie when I was just 16 Years old. It was a very interesting and informative movie. I was shocked while watching it,seeing things I had never seen or heard about. It was an eye opener for me. The movie shows some thing that happened in the war that I know not many (Children) know. Some hart breaking parts which you really makes you think differently to some things. The Movie is well filmed and has a good script in my opinion. The movie was sometimes a bit hard to understand, but my age also had a part in that. I watched it together with my father and he explained me a lot of things I did not know, and you definitely don't learn at school.I would definitely recommend seeing this movie. I'll definitely show it to my kids in the far future when they'll be around 16-18, and hopefully they'll think the same about the movie as I do.

this movie captures the emotions of the persecuted beautifully...everyone needs to watch movies like this to make sure that atrocities do not repeat themselves...this movie is a must see...what more could one want in a movie. THere are very few movies i have found that seem to provide the realism that this has achieved. The acting is outstanding-- the characters are believable and portray despair and hope in a way that has to have an impact on the viewer. With all the garbage out there and almost pointless action movies that are for entertainment purposes only and are soon forgotten after they are viewed--this one has an impact on the viewer that is long lasting. When compared to other movies out there, this one shines in comparison. again i repeat this is a must see....hope this helps

On 06 June 1942, the government of Vichy makes a deal with the Nazis and delivers thousands of Jewish families to be sent to the concentration Camp of Beaune-La-Rolande, Loiret and then to the crematories."La Rafle" is another touching and heartbreaking film that shows the fate of some Jewish families that are removed by force from their homes to the final destination of a crematory. The cruelty of the fate of the Jewish in occupied Europe in the 40's is composed of millions of tragic stories; therefore films about this theme are always extremely sad and usually well-produced, shaking with the emotions of any sensitive viewer.This new approach of the Holocaust, based on what happened in France under the complacence of the French politicians and authorities, is very sad since it shows the destiny of thousand of children that are first separated from their mothers and then send to death. It is cruel but never comparable to the "Sophia's Choice", for me the most depressive film about mother and children relationship ever made. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Amor e Ódio" ("Love and Hate")
