The scene with the instructor


I heard that scene made the German government very mad, and Germany did not show this film. The scene I'm talking about is the one where the German class instructor uses Solly as a representation for a true Aryan. As someone who is Jewish, and constantly mistaken for being of German or Swedish decent, even by Germans, this scene hits close to home for me. It really shows how ridiculous and ignorant it is to stereotype people. And no, I've had no plastic surgery to change my appearance, or "Aryanize" myself.

Well, if as it says "the film received a lukewarm reception in Germany", you can justly assume that the German government did not ban it!
