Movie Reviews of Partisans of Vilna
Movie Review: "Polish city of Vilna"???!
Summary: 4 Stars
I will order this DVD, following the reviews herewith, which tell the exceptional quality and historical interest of the material. However, I write this comment now, a anteriori, just to express my surprise on the editor's qualification of "Polish city of Vilna". What?! Polish??? Or Lithuanian? From when until when was Vilnius a Polish town, and from when to when was it Russian, and since when is it Lithuanian? What about "the Teutonic order city of Klaipeda"? or "Sumerian city of Cairo"? or "Mexican city of Houston and Albuquerque"? For the Polish people, that is the same to say "the German city of Wroclaw", bear in mind that this one would be more accurate (since Breslau was bohemian/german for the last 800 years before the world's biggest ethnic cleansing, in 1946, when 99,8% of the population was expelled and replaced by resettlers).
My point is: when an editor review insert such a nonsense, it destroys the credibility of the whole work that he advertises. This is the kind of thing that pushes me away from fake "history" books. In this case, the readers' reviews avoided it. Thanks to them four.
Summary of Partisans of Vilna
An enormously riveting and inspirational tale of WWII and the Holocaust like no other, PARTISANS OF VILNA is the first documentary to chronicle the amazing endeavors of the Jewish resistance fighters, who courageously staged a sabotage offensive against the Nazi army in the Polish city of Vilna. Co-written with passionate devotion by director Josh Waletzky and producer Aviva Kempner, the film has been lauded as "rich, poignant, terrifying and even ennobling" (L.A. Times).Documentary DVD Video
