By nightfall, the country was in chaos, its leadership uncertain, its territorial integrity threatened - and there were still some fears that the velvet might become stained with blood.

No doubt the Jews, or at least some Jews, in this movie will proclaim “his blood be upon us and upon our children,” and when they do so, does the movie make clear that these are people who lived long ago and who are not speaking for anyone other than themselves?
