Movie Reviews of Out of the Ashes
Movie Review: One Very Touching Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Christine Lahti does an excellent acting job as Gisella Perl. Gisella, a Chekoslovakian Jew, from early childhood had always wanted to be a doctor, which she grows up to become. When her whole family is taken to Auschwitz, she eventually is put in charge of running the infirmary, where in order to save the lives of the women, she does over a thousand abortions. When a women has a baby in the concentration camp, both the mother and baby are sent to the crematorium. Gisella works alongside Joseph Mengele who does insanely burtal experiments on Jews and gypsies and others deserving of the Nazi final solution.
After the war Giselle comes to live in the United States, where after passing her medical exams, she needs to become a U.S. citizen to be allowed to practice medicine in this country. Gisella has to go before a board and answer some very hard questions about her work at Auschwitz before she can obtain her citizenship. The message of the Holocaust should never be forgotten. Not only di many Jews die, but even more Christians. Those who contend that it never happened need to talk to brave men who rescued people from the concentration campsat the end of the war. There are still some of them living. I would highly recommend this movie.
