While I can't say I enjoyed this film...how can you enjoy a film about Auschwitz I thought it was well acted and very engaging, and yes I would recommend it. I'm going to read the book. When I was in my early twenties I read "If this is a man" by Primo Levi and his other books.. Having read his books I find it hard to believe there was any love or humanity in that place esp if you wanted to survive. But if there was.. great.
