I find it so fascinating how people are drawn to stories of Nazi Germany and the Jewish Holocaust. So many movies have been done about this and so many stories have been told about it and I just can't fathom how bad it must have been but I also don't want to dwell on it.
It was horrible but I don't want to sit for two hours and be dragged through the muck of emotions associated with Nazis and Germany and delusions and horrific violence and treatment of people. I just don't like to watch it and I don't like to see it.
While visiting family they wanted to watch a movie and chose "The Boy in the Red Stripe Pajamas". I gave it a try for the first 30 minutes or so. It's about Nazi Germany and the Holocaust and the treatment of Jews. It's all done through the story of a little boy and it's just heart-wrenching and I didn't even see the bad parts.
I don't like that stuff and I don't like to think about it and I don't like to dwell on it. I really don't want to see it because hyper-accurate depictions of people being starved and treated like animals is not my type of entertainment.
So I stepped out of the room and read on my mobile device. But the images I saw haunt me still...
