I was not aware that the torture and murder of people was acceptable if these people are out of fashion. Even if you don't approve of homosexuality, there is no excuse for the kind of inhuman treatement they have received. The Nazis demonstrated quite clearly what people like Mr. Hicks don't understand, that even in the most "advanced" and "civilized" countries people may make an exception to the injunction to love one's neighbor when that neighbor isn't quite like oneself. I think back on the example of Jesus, who pleaded for us to "Judge not lest you be judged" and "Let he who is free of sin cast the first stone," and how he was willing to spend time and associate with those society despised, and how such compassion and caring is utterly lacking in Mr. Hicks' review. (Perhaps this is because Mr. Hicks quite obviously dislikes Jews and Jesus was one.) I just hope you never find yourself facing someone as uncompassionate who finds you out of fashion.

What a movie to paint a picture of yet again what has happend in this world and yet how still 'til this day it really affects us. A must see movie...but be prepared to ride an emotional ride.

As a gay American and Historian, I was disappointed with this documentary. Certainly, these stories need to be told; but I felt the producers missed the mark. I highly recommend seeing the National Holocaust Museum in D.C.; for it paints a more detailed picture of the Nazi treatment of Homosexuals. As for Blockbuster- please screen these reviews more carefully and remove Homophobic and anti-semetic responses. I didn't appreciate that the very first review of this movie was written by a close minded bigot. Thank you!
