Hi,I'm sure you struggled with the whole 911 issue while making this film, and didn't want to distract the viewers from the subject at hand: the Holocaust; however, I was surprised that the date,"September 11, 2001," was posted on the screen, and no mention was made of the significance of the date. I am wondering if, instead of ignoring the date, you might have just avoided it completely, by not letting the viewers know what date the train car was being moved.
Just curious as to why it was decided to post the date, with no mention of the horrific events that took place then.
While the casualties of 911 do not come close to those incurred in the Holocaust, it is still a National tragedy that will never be forgotten, and was also caused by hatred.
Besides that - I enjoyed the film and I think the project was unique.
Thanks, Pam
