highly recommended

In Out of the Ashes, one woman is forced to choose between two horrifying acts of evil, and ultimately finds the courage to make the right choice. Based on actual events that occurred during World War II that chronicles the life of Dr. Gisella Perl, a woman who lost her entire family and was forced to start life over in America.

Out of the Ashes

Loved the movie. It's one of the great movies we all should own.We received it in just a few days after we placed the order. Amazon is a great place to order anything from.

A double tragedy...

"Out of the Ashes" is a gripping true story of a Jewish female obstetrician who survived the Holocaust, and saved the lives of hundreds of female prisoners, only to be savaged when she finally emigrated to the United States by both a bureaucratic system and latent anti-semitism among the commissioners who reviewed her application for citizenship to enable her to practice here. Difficult to watch at times due to content, despite the fact that it won an Oscar for cinematography, the truth is often tough to swallow. It is the story of a woman who became a doctor over parental objections, who aborted hundreds of women to save them from Nazi extermination, and who survived only to be savaged when she finally made it to the U.S.

just great

I have never seen better acting than what cristine lahti performed as the DR. also a great movie.

Poignant, Moving Story

A beautifully acted and produced movie. I highly recommend it for the quality and the story. I've got a library of 150 books on the Holocaust, and about 20 movies, and this one is definitely one of my favorites.

Mesmerizing

I have studied the Holocaust for many years and this is one of the best movies I've seen. Out of the Ashes is a true story of Dr. Gisella Perl, a gynecologist who was sent to Auschwitz and forced to work along side Dr. Josef Mengele, the most vicious of all the doctors of death. You can absolutely feel Dr. Perl's pain all through this movie and Christine Lahti does an absolutely wonderful job portraying her. This movie will move you beyond words, truly it will. To think that one human being devised so much hate as to destroy so many precious people. This is not one movie I will soon forget. Dr. Perl wrote a book detailing her experiences but it is not very available and the copies that are available are priced almost beyond reach. This movie is one you should see so as not to forget there are people in the world who hate so much and that we should never become like them.
