There are two kinds of bigotry: covert and overt. CT's review of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is of an example of the former. As a Christian myself -- one who's spent a lifetime studying the Holocaust -- I should be used to this tone; but I'm not. I found this "fable" of a film to be touching, frightening and heartbreaking. It speaks the language of childhood to adults who should know better and don't. Watch the film and let its lessons flow over you. It's an eye-opening experience.

Of course, Christians wouldn't rate this story with the 4 stars it deserves. They are the kinds of hatred and bigotry.
