An excellent World War II/Holocaust film that does not get nearly the credit it deserves is the Louis Malle-directed French masterpiece, Au Revoir Les Enfants (1987). Gritty and gripping, the film follows a French boarding school run by priests that seems to be isolated from WWII. That all changes when a secret emerges that one of the boys is Jewish.
This is an autobiographical film, written, produced, and directed by Malle.
Check it out.

The master in his glory….if you want another foreign movie a similar in genre but more intense, either “Europa Europa” or “The Pianist”. Great choice as usual, Chess.
Thanks. I consider Europa Europa a top ten film for me of all-time, much better than Schindler’s List re: the Holocaust. I profiled it here: http://ibankcoin.com/chessnwine/2011/07/30/saturday-night-at-chess-cinemas-10/
