The Yellow Star: The Persecution of the Jews in Europe - 1933-1945

Watch Trailer
1981 · 89 min Documentary
5.9 / 10 · TMDB

This Oscar nominated documentary serves not only as a remembrance but a lesson and a warning for the future. It follows the plight of Europe's Jews during the terrifying period from 1933 until the final defeat of the Third Reich in 1945. Never before had the world seen such contempt for human life on such a grand scale, the murder of an estimated 6 million Jews, with countless others persecuted. During the 1930s a wave of national fervor swept through a tumultuous Germany; people looked for answers, and the politicians were all too willing to point the finger of blame towards the Jewish population. Few, if any, could have foreseen how the views of one man would unfold…that man was Adolf Hitler.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The Yellow Star: The Persecution of the Jews in Europe - 1933-1945 has mixed reviews with a rating of 5.9/10. Good for a relaxed evening without high expectations.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1981. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
