At first, I thought this was another movie that was about Germany and Jews.

Indeed it was, but it was not the same as others. There were two main characters, mother and a son who are not Jews. I didn't know whether they took it in their own hands to save the son's friend or only the mother did, but I thought it was a very courageous rescue. The piano part seemed to say that both families are rich. They live in the same apartment building so I think the difference between both families was only religion. One part that made me concerned is that the boy said he is a blood brother of his friend. If he said "brother", I can understand that he is a brother-like friend but I couldn't understand "blood brother." It might mean one of them is an adopted child.

I am Japanese. In Japan, the school won't teach us about WW2. Only those who want to learn about WW2 can learn. By watching these movies, I surely thought that Japanese people should learn about WW2 an Germany's treatment of Jews and also China and Korean problem in WW2.

I think this movie, Toyland, is very important to those who don't know about WW2 since it shows the nice parts and bad parts of Germany.
