This a great story of tragedy, hope and overcoming adversity

This is a great story and almost nothing else matters. The quality is OK at best and this must of been a very low budget film - again this doesn't mater because the object lesson is so great. It make you realize that today we are just a bunch of spoiled brats when you look at what real hardship can be. June 24, 2008

Sobibor DVD

although this movie is not a thrill a minute movie, it is very startly to see the reality of what really happened under Hilters regime. November 7, 2007

Fantastic

I loved this movie. If you're a fan of Thrillers like The Great Escape and Escape from Alcatraz, then you should buy this. It is so sad to see what people actually went through and in the end you heave a sigh of relief and feel a lot of joy to finally see how they escaped. In today's world, given the same situation, we would not survive even for a day; but those men and women had guts and hunger for survival and revenge. This is a "must see" movie. Be prepared for occasional "lumps in your throat". June 27, 2007

STILL POWERFUL AFTER TWENTY YEARS

Film is still excellent. Almost unbearable without the commercial breaks.

Apparently I got lucky when I ordered the VHS tape and the version I have has not been edited. Other reviewers have described the film in detail, so I won't add to that. What is really sad is that this was made for network television. Anything like this would be produced by Showtime or HBO now. And that is not only sad, it's tragic. June 25, 2007

One of the best movies ever made.

I first saw this movie when it originally aired on TV back in the 80's. I was a cynical teenager, but this movie blew my mind and affected how I approach my life.

I bought the VHS copy of this movie as soon as it was available. Now, I've upgraded to the DVD version. I watch this movie several times a year and it's just as powerful as the first time I saw it. May 22, 2007
