Dear Gary and Richard,

We saw the movie in our class. The pictures were really terrible and we understood the theme.
 The movie was exiting. We were impressed by the way you presented the facts.
When we see movies about the Holocaust we are ancestors of the people who lived it.
We saw Marsha's name in the credits and we were very happy to see her name because we think that she should be there. She inspires everyone.

Yours,
Nufar and Ziv from grade 6th.

Hello, my name is Almog.
I don’t have any "personal special story" about my family. The most exciting thing I can tell you is my grandfather and grandmother of both side of my parents were in the Holocaust, yes, it's not special and not exciting but it’s important to know they survived,.
Why? Because they got through it despite many hardships and remained alive. They had to see SS officer take his gun and kill his or her families. Actually they didn’t like to talk about that, THEY WERE AFRAID.
So your movie has real meaning to me a grandchild who never heard about his family and yet I know how courageous they all were.

Dear Gary & Richard Lester
We loved your movie
It was very interesting and sad.
We think that the movie is very important and it helped us to learn
more about the Holocaust.
We also think that it is important to learn and remember the Holocaust
because it is the past of our country.
The sound effects were great and the visual effects were also great.
We were very happy that Globaldreamers and Marsha contributed to this movie.

Safe Haven is a touching movie that taught us a lot. We think that the people who hid the Jews in the zoo are really kind and good and are an example to kind people who think all people are the same.
We didn't know that so many people were saved thanks to the Warsaw Zoo.

We think Gary Lester, the director of the movie, did a great job and taught us a lot about our people.
The sound effects and image effects in the movie were amazing, and really illustrated what happened there.
We hope your movie will affect a lot of people. Eldar and Omer

I think it is important to remember the Holocaust and this movie is very important in doing so .As I watched the movie I felt a pinch in my heart. The Germans killed more than 6 million Jews and 11 million people. The Second World War was terrible for so many innocent men, women and children. So many were killed by the hands of the Germans and so much suffering by the brutal Nazis who considered themselves holy and above all others. In this nightmare your movie shows a light of people who endangered themselves and knew they would pay a horrible price if caught by the Germans. It shows that there are people who can show compassion and care about others despite the evil around them. That is the message of your movie Gary and Richard that mankind can prevail even in hard times and that the good can conquer evil even during the dark days of the Holocaust.
My teacher Marsha sent a banner that I created for you; it is a small way of saying thank you and a token of our appreciation for making us feel so special in your movie. Our teacher Marsha was crying at the end as she is a firm believer in helping children in becoming good people.

Thank you,
