Facing Arthur is a film about a unique friendship that is formed between a young German who's grandfather served in Hitler's army and a 100 year old Holocaust survivor named Arthur. I rented this film on Netflix recently and would recommend it to everyone. It is a very popular rental now, and I had to wait a while before receiving it. I doubt if many people are aware that there has been a program in Germany since the late 1950's which pairs young Germans with Holocaust survivors in order for them to learn about Jewish beliefs and customs. I certainly didn't know about it until seeing this film.
