Nice interview, Gerry. The timing of the film's release to coincide with Holocaust Rememberance Day is also good, particularly since now that 60 years have passed since the Shoah, the older generation--people who were adults (even young adults) are dying and it is to the younger generations (and the people who were only children at the time) to uphold memory and history in the face of so many who would now deny that it, indeed, ever happened.

Thank you Barbara. That is a wonderful point about the date, which fits in so well with the movie's (and book's) theme about the relationship between memory and history.
