Schindler's List makes one cry but Devil's Arithmetic is a film which horrifies you and chills you to the bone. It gnaws your heart and you can't but feel hatred for the Nazis,... the Germans. The atrocities commited by them on women , on new born babies, young men...esp. the scene where the young men are cheated into trying to escape, and then chased, caught and hanged, all in a line , facing their kith and kin, staring aghast , shocked, frozen with fear, weeping yet defiant.
Also one can never forget the scene where all the women and children are made to strip and then enter the ditch, which is finally shut from the top, sealing them inside without air...you become one with them as they struggle for the last gasps of air before collapsing onto each other.
Storyline very powerfully related, touchingly unfolded. If you are the one who is interested in the facts of life in history, this film is a must
.
