The Pianist is the movie I watched for the assigned blog #3. The movie is based on a novel written by Wladyslaw Szpilman. The movie is about him and his family during the Nazi occupation of Warsaw Poland. It starts out by the family being in Warsaw Poland when the German troops came and put them in the ghettos. All but him were taken to concentration camps. Half a million Jews were sent to death camps. Wladyslaw made it through by hiding in different apartments. A polish man brought him food about every two weeks. When the Russians took over the German streets and bombed the buildings, he ran and hid. He ended up in an abandoned house attic. A German solider helped him, by bringing him some food. None of Wladyslaw’s family made it through the war. He lived to be 88 years old. He was a great pianist and even made it on the polish radios.
