Saw this film yesterday on Netflix. I was very impressed. It is based on true events that happened in Mauthausen Concentration Camp, in particular the story of Francisco Boix, a Spanish prisoner working in the camp's photographic shop. He is obsessed with collating and hiding the negatives of photos he has taken of the various atrocities that take place almost on a daily basis. His objective is that they will be used as evidence if, and when, the camp is liberated and war crimes trials ensue. The acting is excellent, and the camp scenes reflect the horror of camp life quite graphically. I have visited Mauthausen and am pretty sure that filming was done there. For anyone who has an interest in this period of history,this film may very fill in some gaps in your knowledge of the camp system. Historically, I could not fault it.

My grandfather taught me this poem. Not long after the war finished, my dad took us all to Cleethorpes for a week. I was eight years old and it was the first holiday I had ever been on. There was a talent contest for kids in a local park and my mum entered me to recite it. It went down a storm with the audience. The winner was decided by the volume of audience applause and they couldn't decide between me and another little lad who sang "Ghost Riders In The Sky" In the end they split the award between us and we walked away with two 8oz blocks of Cadburys chocolate each. With rationing still on this was a prize indeed!!
