Rating: - We have to remember
I saw the miniseries HOLOCAUST as a child. I couldn't believe that people could be so cruel. I never forgot it.
I also remember the heroism. You know, it really is an uplifting film.
I lent the tape to a teacher friend of mine, and her students got it. They asked questions. They wanted to learn more about this period in history. They wanted to know more about man's inhumanity to man.
I'm going to keep lending that tape. I want people to learn.
Rating: - I would give this ten stars if I could
Suspend your disbelief that one family could be involved in every major event of the Holocaust. The point is this is an outstanding mini-series with performances by actors that have gone on to become some of the best of their generation, most notably Meryl Streep. I first saw it as a TV mini-series and have revisited it several times in the intervening years. Each time I watch the series, I see new facets within the production that I did not focus on previously or come away with a clearer understanding of events during this horrific time period. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! My only complaint is that ... Read More

I watched the original series in 1978 when I was [...] ; it had a profound impact on my understanding of human atrocities and the depths of depravity.

Rating: - Great Educational Tool
We watched this film in a college Holocaust course and it covered all aspects of the Holocaust: perpetrators, bystanders, partisans, mentally handicapped, ghettos, concentration camps, and more. I highly recommend this movie even though it is long. All the students in my class couldn't wait to come to class to see what would happen next. Some very good actors not mentioned above such as James Woods and Merryl Streep.
Rating: - THE HOLOCAUST
I watched this on network tv when it premiered. It's even harder to watch it today. With twenty years of ethnic cleansings, and smaller holocausts under our belts, one of the major themes of the story holds even truer. If we aren't very very careful any of us can become a killer.
