“The Pianist” is a powerful portrayal of life in the Jewish Ghetto in WWII Warsaw. Waldyslaw Szpilman tells his heroic story in a book, which was brilliantly adapted by director, Roman Polanski. While I do not approve of Mr. Polanski’s personal life, I cannot deny the impact of this finely crafted film that depicts a personal ground-level view of the horrors of the holocaust.
