If You Live Among Wolves, You Must Howl Like A Wolf.
I took my title from a Russian Proverb about surviving in a strange environment. I thought it fitting for the biography of a young Jewish man, whose adaptability among Russians and Germans, was essential to his survival during World War II. Europa, Europa is based on the biography of... Read full review »
The Startling True Story of the Jewish Hitler Youth. EUROPA EUROPA
Europa, Europa (1990) Directed by Agnieszka Holland
This story starts, appropriately enough, with Solomon Perel's circumcision, an event that he claims to remember. That would be appropriate, because it defined his life forever after. Solek (Marco Hofschneider) is a Jew in...

Sprechen Sie Deutsches?
This is the second German movie I have seen this month. The other one I saw was called Goodbye, Lenin which I will get to writing up a review for sometime. My younger brother knows the German language, German culture, German music (classic and contemporary), so that is how I learned of both movies... Read full review »
The Chameleon
Here's a film dealing with the Holocaust and World War II that manages to avoid being emotionally devastating without diminishing the horror of the events. It is also one of the best known films by Polish-born director Agnieszka Holland, who, since 1981, has worked in Germany, France, England, and... Read full review »
Sleeping with the enemy
The Holocaust has inspired many filmed accounts, from "Schindler's List", to "The Pianist", to "The Long Way Home". But few have tackled the unique angle that Agnieska Holland did with "Europa, Europa". EE tells the extraordinary true story of Salomon Perel (Marco Hofschneider), a young... Read full review »
Unforgivable after spending sleepless nights!
This movie is based on the true story of Salomon Perel, making it even more difficult to see. I saw it in German in an uncut version. The film was highly recommended and given to me, not realizing that it could create a very traumatic reaction. I see both sides of this young man's experience, as I... Read full review »
To be a Nazi or Not to be a Nazi, that is the question.

Fantastic plot and storyline
I saw this movie first in the movie theater several years ago, upon the recommendation of a German literature professor. I enjoyed the movie so much I chose to purchase the VHS format.
I tend to watch films for character development. I believe a movie is good if the characters are...

The Aryan Jew
This story follows the plight of a Jewish boy, who tries to hide himself from a world gone mad, a world out to destroy him.
I was told to watch this movie for German class, I did, and what a story it was. The movie is based loosely on the book of the same title, and follows the same basic...

Europa Europa
This incredible, true story (Los Angeles Times) is at once eye-opening, harrowing and humorous (Leonard Maltin) as it recounts the severe actions a young boy must take in order to survive the Holocaust. Based on the autobiography of Solomon Perel, a young German Jew, the film bounds from one jaw-dropping episode to the next (The New Yorker) and puts you in the middle of war-torn Europe where ingenuity, timing and luck are the key to survival. Separated from his family at the age of thirteen, Solly (Marco Hofschneider) takes on various identities to hide his Jewishheritage. First passing himself off as an orphan and later as one of the Hitler Youth, Solly carries on his charade, hoping desperately to keep his identity hidden and make it through the war alive.
