Your Holocaust Remembreance Day Viewing Guide

Marathon Man, you know the scene. No, not that one:

Rabbi Captain David Eichhorn ministering at Dachau, we'll not see his kind again:

British Diplomat and Mensch Nicholas Winton:

The Israeli Air Force over Auschwitz. Now the enemies of the Jews are afraid:

Survivors at Schlinder's Grave:

Raid on Entebbe: Hine ma Tov (that's Janothan Netanyahu in the middle and a young James Woods at right):

Fron the Passover Hagadah:

Pour You wrath upon the nations that do no recognize You and upon the kingdons that do not Invoke Your Name. For they have devoured Jacob and destroyed His Habitation. Pour Your anger upon them and let Your fiery wrath overtake them. Pursue them with wrath and annihilate them from beneath the heavans of Hashem.

Redeemable at Entebbe

After we posted on the 70's classic film Raid on Entebbe, Harris asked about the Seven Days at Entebbe film released last year, and said he'd heard it was sympathetic to the terrorists.

We haven't seen it either. 

There is a semi-sympathetic character in Raid on Entebbe, one Wilfred Boese who we get to know through his conversations with hostage Dan Cooper. Boese is doing an evil act, but he is really just a lost soul.

When the Israelis fight their way into the terminal, Boese picks up a pair of grenades and gets ready to throw them into the crowd of hostages. Cooper sees Boese, faces the man and looks at him with defiance and contempt for the act he is about to commit. Shamed, Boese puts his grenades down, picks up his rifle and is soon killed by the Israeli commandos. Thus Boese gets his soul back.
