shareWorld War II is a dark time in our history and these films do not shy away from that. Here are some recommendations that are brutal, satirical, and occasionally irreverent.

When he finds out that his mother has been hiding a Jewish girl in their home, Jojo must decide where his loyalties lie. Taika Waititi directs, writes, and stars in this darkly humorous satire about indoctrination. WATCH on Prime Video.
Inglourious Basterds: A group of American-Jewish soldiers and a French theater owner carry out a mission to assassinate Nazi leadership.
