Not Hotel Terminus - download and play link go to a different film
The actual documentary "Hotel Terminus" is very good and well worth the time. The link on Amazon Instant Video plays a completely different film ( a documentary on a sitcom in the early 1950s).
Wonderful presentation of a difficult subject.
I've had to watch this film all the way through twice. The first time got to shaking up my general understanding of how Nazis were dealt with and adding different perspectives to the nature of the Resistance. The second time, I could better watch the interviewees faces as they look back, or gloss over, or evade, or justify. It exposes a nastiness that rises up under war conditions not between enemies, but among everyone. It is easily worth the time sorting out who's who in this documentary so we can get a better understanding of the difficult decisions people had to make. I do hope you give it a chance.
