Download or read book Life is Beautiful, But Not for Jews written by Kobi Niv and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2003-09-29 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With sharp, uncompromising logic and eye-opening insight, Niv analyzes the film and its script scene-by-scene to show why Life is Beautiful is very far from being the innocent, charming, and heartwarming film it appears to be. The author argues that the film not only lends support to the central arguments of Holocaust deniers, but is actually a quasi-theological, Christian parable which seeks to justify the extermination of Jews in the 20th century as divine punishment for the sin of the crucifixion of Jesus two thousand years ago.
