The movie, The Pianist, is based on an autobiographical book by a Polish-Jewish pianist/composer. This movie describes the tragic life of an individual who survived the Holocaust. The things he had to go through reminded me of the horrible events that took place during the early/middle years of the 20th century. Furthermore, i believe being shown such things will constantly keep the humanity in check so that no such hatred and confrontation even happens on such a large scale. Unfortunately, there won’t be a time when everyone can peacefully coexist but still people should try to get as close to that as possible.
