Reviews About the
Film:
"...a
powerful teaching tool on the effects of Nazi terrorism on
succeeding generations. By demonstrating how prejudice and
bigotry does not by itself diminish with the passing of
time, the tragic story of Lidice is a legacy for all
people...The fact that the film deals with a non-Jewish
incident, the impact of evil on children and subsequent
generations is one which must be communicated to a mass
audience."
Karen
Friedman, Director, ADL Braun Holocaust Institute
"An
excellent and multifaceted film about coming to grips with a
horrific event; powerfully instructive on how the ways in
which we remember the past impacts on present and future
generations....In the many gripping stories presented here,
memory defies the ultimate intentions of the Nazis and
provides timely warnings on the universal dangers of
prejudice, ethnic
hatred, and aggressive war.:

"Interweaving the tragedy of Lidice and the wounds
of memory, In the Shadow of Memory is a necessary reminder
of unforgettable scars and our continuing need to confront
them"
