1. Residue of some cold war mentality (USSR = Evil, this film was made by the USSR, ergo it is bad/wrong)
2. Americans are not involved which upsets them as they like to think they were the center of attention in W.W.II after 1941 and won it by themselves.
Any other reasons?
The seemingly endless staring straight into the camera by the main actors --with increasingly goofy, unintentionally funny looks on their faces -- puts a full spread of torpedoes into this movie... well below the waterline.
Send her to the snakes!
I'm an American and I loved it. I'm not sure where you're getting that idea from. This post is three years old, though, so whatever.

Interesting! The only group that really gave it a low rating is females over 45. I wonder what's up with that?

It boils down to this: Americans do not have any cultural idea of being occupied by a foreign power. So we don't understand the kind of resentment that builds from that sort of thing. Nor do we understand the ebbs and flows of such a dynamic either. The Holocaust is horrifying as an idea to Americans, the Holocaust is horrifying to Eastern Europe as a reality.
