I was literally moved to tears by this movie which recreates the terror and death faced by the Jewish race during WWII. Melanie Laurent and Hugo Levedez are incandescent as the nurse and young boy who endure the horrors of the Vel D'Hive roundup in Paris during 1942. I was surprised that this movie did not get a higher rating on IMDb, possibly attributed to the small number who have seen it in the U.S. Of personal interest to me is the fact that I wrote a short story, "Black Thursday", on the same subject in 2011. I'm willing to make it available to anyone who wishes to read it by contacting me at: bfp13108@yahoo.com. On another personal note, I am repulsed by the racist, ignorant and hateful remarks made by so many on the various comment boards located on the internet. I often wonder how these people would react if they were in the same situation as Jo's family. I rarely rate a movie as 10 on IMDb, reserving it for the finest of cinema. However, I did rate this 10 based on it's artistic, dramatic, and superb representation of one of the most horrific events in the 20th century.
