 It's a sin not to have this July 12, 2008
I couldn't wait to get my eyes on this film. I loved it when I watched it on tv as a child in Spain. A rich Jewish family in Berlin during the 30's and through the IIWW. The authenticity of locations, the streets, the camps, everyhing filmed outdoors has a feeling of authenticity that I can't explain how they achieved it, but it's astonishing.
The story is well told (just enough well told), but a TRAGEDY like this one, a representative tragedy of Jews during the Holocaust in Europe (mind you in Europe!) cannot -and does not- fail to amaze, make you cry, astonish you, whatever. This kind of story cannot fail to interest you.
The best in the series, besides the realistic impression of being there with the victims and the victimizers, was Meryl Streep. She's fantastic. Beside her James Woods is a failure. But let's forget him.
In one word: a film as beautiful as much as it hurts to witness the evil times of early 20th century. May God keep us away from hatred.
LONG AWAITED EXCELLENCE!!!!!!!! July 5, 2008
I cant beleive it took 30 years to get this movie spectacle on dvd! Not only for myself but was a gift for my parents - I remember watching this as a child and my parents explaining what the holocaust was all about - and to never forget! THANK YOU!
 VEIWERS--BEWARE! July 4, 2008

After waiting so long for this series to be released on DVD, this sure was a big letdown. I have the Goodtime VHS version and although the picture quality is not that great at least it showed the complete uncut series. The DVD version is so chopped up it is very hard to really appreciate the movie. For those of you who have not purchase this DVD yet, do yourself a favor. Try and find a copy of the VHS version.
Holocaust: One of the best movies I've seen July 3, 2008
I have been waiting 30 years for this item to be on DVD. I have a copy on VHS but I've watched it so many times that it has degraded to nothing but lines and fades in and out. James Woods, Michael Moriarty and Meryl Streep showed back 30 years ago that they were destined to become famous household names of Hollywood.
A Real Classic June 28, 2008
I have always liked this miniseries. It tells the story of a very dark period of history as seen and experienced by one German family. I think this is very well made and the actors portray the characters very well. Until now, the price of owning this series has been out of my reach, but now I'm glad that I finally have it.
