| Sensational! |
I first saw this mini-series on television back in the 70's. I was very pleased when it finally came out on DVD. I would recommend it to anyone interested in this period of history. |

| CBS/Paramount Hits New Low |
Quite frankly I didn't think that CBS/Paramount could do any worse than their mediocre (at best) transfers of Beauty and the Beast and The Waltons (not to mention the truly wretched packaging of that last series). The megacorporation has surpassed itself with their release of the important mini-series Holocaust. Not only is the transfer as poor as that of Beauty and the Beast and The Waltons but the release does not even contain the complete mini-series (caveat emptor: CBS/Paramount tells you in a microcopic sized sentence that this "may" (I love the ambiguity here) not contain the complete series.
This release shows (if further evidence was needed) that CBS/Paramount does not care about the quality production of DVDs. It shows that they don't care about TV history. It shows that they don't care about consumers or they wouldn't routinely put out such poor transfers. It shows that they care only about one thing--profit (since the DVD's they release are clearly produced at the lowest possible cost to them). A pox on both their houses. DON'T BUY THIS. WRITE CBS/PARAMOUNT (VIACOM) TO COMPLAIN. If you don't do either you are perpetuating what is surely some of the worst practises within the DVD industry. And you deserve what you get.

| Well done Mini-series |
Great cast and very thoughtful. I think it is one of the better movies done about the Holocaust. Very underated. |

| Great miniseries |
I had been looking for this DVD and couldn't find it anywhere. Then I recieved an e-mail from Amazon stating that it was coming out in a couple of weeks. I was so glad. The acting is superb and the movie is as good as I remembered it to be. This is one title definately worth adding to your collection. On the down side the picture quality could be much better than it is. I would have thought that they would have brought it up to the standards of today. |
