...progression is his film guides the action slowly from full minute to full minute. In a final sequence, however, De Sica rises almost to the surreal. To the swelling of a chanted exhortation to "Pray for all of us who fell at the hands of murderers in Dachau, Auschwitz and Treblinka...," De Sica leaves the scene of Micol's proud resignation to look one last time at the dome of Ferrara's synagogue, the implied emptiness beneath her tiled roofs, and a rusty padlock on the gate to the garden of the Finzi-Continis.

Some listeners, however, have been markedly cool-for example, to Yevtushenko's repeated attempt to equate the American bombing of North Viet Nam and the assassination of the Kennedys and Martin Luther King with the Nazi massacres at Auschwitz, Dachau and Babi Yar.
