“Searing…Verhoeven’s important film asks us to expand our thinking about the Holocaust beyond Auschwitz and the gas chambers.”—TV Guide

“Provocative…intriguing… punctures the closely held belief that everyday citizens and low-ranking soldiers were blameless for the crimes of the Third Reich. Very few want to think of Grandpa as a Nazi.”—Los Angeles Times
