The Desperate is a fine short subject about the holocaust and the loss of so much
talent. When Jews and others were tossed into the camps in Nazi Germany, the
racist policies of the regime truly were at their stupidest.
Peter Mark Richman is an aged Jewish man who was once a top man in the medical field. But because of his religion is deemed as a person less worthy of
being treated as a human being.
But General Greg Mullavey's son has been wounded and he needs a topflight
man. So Richman who is slated for the next round in the gas chambers is
briefly reprieved.
Richman has some choices to make and I won't go any further. Watching this
movie the man I thought of was one of the best scientists Germany had who
like so many was hounded out of the country or killed for no other reason as for being who and what they were. Albert Einstein, a Jew wound up in America, he was a lucky one.
This is a truly great short subject film on the holocaust.
