'The Pianist'
This film is about the true life of a Polish Jew named Wladyslaw Szpilman who survived World War 2. It basically is about how he escaped the evil ways of what the Nazis did to the Jews. While living in hiding and under control of the Germans he experienced some terrifying events.

He was offered to work for the Jewish Police and refused this offer, which may have saved his family. Henrick and him would go out on the streets and try to sell books for extra cash to feed the family.
