[CASL-L] Holocaust movies

[Katie Gordon]

While that film is rated for younger audiences, it is a problematic story.
Unlike *Night* which is told by a survivor and centers the experiences of
the oppressed group, *Boy in the Striped Pajamas* centers the dominant
group's narrative, and by telling it through the eyes of a young child of
the privileged group, it minimizes the horrors.
