Featured review. Wonderful and TRUE story how one person can change the world. I find that Haven is extremely engrossing, inspiring enough for me to invite a number of people to watch its four hour length and to wake up thinking about it months after seeing it for the first time.
It is not mawkish. It is about a harsh reality and it is about history and it is also about telling us about society in the time of WWII. It might not be comfortable for some of us to accept the reality of rejection, of discrimination, of the Holocaust and of the genuine responsibility of governments of the world who looked away from Nazism and its genocidal maniacs. The anti-American slant of at least one of the reviews smacks of a parochial nationalism that hides the historical truth that Canada ALSO was guilty of looking away from victims of the Holocaust.
Had the U. Hitler took advantage of the fact that no one would take Jews into their borders before and during the war to carry out his demoniacal plans and no one with political power tried to stop it It nor did the Allies even bother to bomb the gas chambers nor the railroads going to the concentration camps. It took the courage and moral fibre of the little man from Missouri, Harry S.
