      Audience Member Very inspiring people mostly children using art to work through the horror that happened to them. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Art inspired by the direct experience of Holocaust survivors...many of them done at that time. Haunting. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member As Seen Through These Eyes tells the survival stories of Jews during the holocaust who escaped death by creating art (or despite it.) Their stories are very compelling and horrifying, but the actual film narrator seems detached and actually unnecessary. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Serves as another critical reminder of one of the world's most horrific periods, even if, cinematically, it's an affecting collection of stories and images in search of an actual center. Rated: 3/5 Dec 7, 2009 Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News Though Maya Angelou is enlisted as the solemn narrator of Hilary Helstein's Holocaust documentary, the survivors here need no help expressing their own tragedies. Rated: 3/5 Oct 2, 2009 Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post Unfortunately, Angelou's detached and often superfluous narration lessens the film's impact. Rated: 2/4 Oct 2, 2009 Full Review Steve Ramos Boxoffice Magazine Distinguishes itself from many other Holocaust documentaries and offers a new perspective on this timeless tragedy. Rated: 3/5 Oct 2, 2009 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com Hilary Helstein offers a historically significant documentary reportage of Holocaust survivors who utilized art as their primary coping mechanism inside Hitler's concentration camps. Rated: A- Sep 28, 2009 Full Review Harvey S. Karten Compuserve A quietly impressive testament to the tenaciousness of the human spirit. Rated: B+ Sep 24, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews
