I’d like to apologize for commenting on this almost two months after you intially posted it, but I saw ‘A Film Unfinished’ last night and I agree with what you have to say about the movie. Unlike you, I was actually looking forward to watching the film. I have always had a great interest in World War Two history and I was really interested in seeing the footage that Hersonski had uncovered. You mentioned the staged scenes of wealthy Jews living in the high life in the ghetto and this really captured my attention, as well. I found the scene where they were staging the fake ball to be quite haunting. The people they were filming had no life in their eyes and they knew that they were just being used as pawns and this wouldn’t benefit them in any way. It is so disgusting how they used the very people they were killing to try to show the rest of Germany and the world that the Jews weren’t suffering, but living in the lap of luxury in the camps. It’s even more disgusting now that we know exactly what horrors actually occured in places like Warsaw. It would have been really interesting if this film had been finished. I would be interested to see how the Nazis intended to use the true footage of suffering Jews in comparison to their staged scenes of “privileged” Jewsish people.
