Magnifique et émouvant !, 26 septembre 2010
Ce commentaire fait référence à cette édition : Rosenstrasse (DVD)
Rosenstrasse est un film qui montre le courage extraordinaire de femmes allemandes qui ont défendu jusqu'au bout leur mari juif pendant la seconde guerre mondiale. Leur action est d'autant plus exceptionnelle qu'elles subissaient des pressions pour les abandonner et que les hommes mariés à des femmes juives ont été beaucoup moins nombreux à défendre leur femme... C'est un film important qui nous fait réaliser encore une fois qu'au milieu de l'horreur il y a toujours des gens prêts à se battre pour la justice et pour ceux qu'ils aiment. Un bel hommage pour ces femmes dont on n'entend pas parler dans nos manuels d'Histoire. Le film est par ailleurs de bonne qualité : belles images, belles lumières, regards touchants... A voir !

film très émouvant sur le courage de certaines femmes qui n'ont pas hésité à risquer leur vie pour sauver leur conjoint juif.Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas eu plus de personnes courageuses en Europe à cette époque

The History Behind this Film, 17 mars 2009
Ce commentaire fait référence à cette édition : Rosenstrasse (DVD)
Nazism had trouble knowing what to do with two categories of Jews:
* Those who had 'Aryan' blood as well as Jewish (Mischlings)
* Those who were married to non-Jews with numerous family ties to ordinary Germans.
This film dramatizes actual events that began at the end of February, 1943, when Jews with German spouses were rounded up and imprisoned in a Jewish community center at Rosenstrasse 2-4 in Berlin. A crowd organized by their spouses (mostly wives of Jewish men) gathered to protest and prevent their transport to death camps in the East. It is likely that their protests were the reason Gobbels, the German propaganda minister, released the men.
Some groups championing non-violent action use these events to prove, to their satisfaction, that non-violence would work even in Nazi Germany. But success in the unique circumstances of late-February and early March of 1943 no more proves the universal truth of non-violent action than Gandhi's success with the British in India proves that those same techniques would have worked against Stalin or in today's Tibet. Often brutal force is the only way to end violence.
These protests came at the precise moment when Gobbels did not dare permit anything that would damage German morale. Stalingrad had fallen to the Soviets in early February, indicating to many Germans that the war was lost. In addition, on the 18th of February, Gobbels had given a speech calling on the German people to sacrifice themselves in a "total war." And finally, in Munich that same week, several students involved in a group called the White Rose were arrested for criticizing the Nazi regime. If these Rosenstrasse protests had taken place two months earlier or later they might have met with Gestapo arrests rather than success.
Two criticisms have been directed at this film. One is that it isn't done as a documentary, that it confuses viewers by flashing back and forth between today and the events of 1943. That criticism isn't persuasive. It may mean that viewers have to work harder, asking themselves, "'Am I in 1943 or 2003?"' But that technique also humanizes the characters, making them into people who could be our neighbors or friends.
The other criticism is far more telling. This film suggests that Gobbels released the men because a wife of one of the men seduced him. There is absolutely no evidence that took place. Most likely, Gobbels acted as he did for precisely the reasons described above. Finding out the morning after that he had slept with the wife of a Jew would have probably led Gobbels to kill both the husband and wife in revenge. Gobbels was not the sort of man to charm or blackmail.
If you ignore that grotesque blunder, you will find this film excellent.
