I saw Mr. Salkil at the Mall This Weekend

Yeah I did. Anyway, I watched the documentary No Place on Earth. It's about Ukranian Jews who hid from the nazis in a large cave. I was interested in it since my heritage is actually Ukranian Jew. It went from dramatic to heart wrenching. The stories of the families in this cave made me tear up. It made me want to travel to the place and meet the people who survived through the experience. Through eye witness testimony and real shots of the cave, this documentary had me sucked in the whole time. I could not take my eyes of of it. I hung on every word of the survivors and each anecdote made me want to call up my grandma and hear about her family during this time. The whole tale just tugged at my heartstrings  and I felt so bad for the people. Yet at the same time it really gave me hope and some sort of camaraderie to see the human spirit push through the incredibly hard times. At the end the survivors bring their grandchildren to the cave, that was icing on the cake. The old men crying and sharing stories was adorable, sad, and it made me want to visit my grandparents. It felt great to learn a new history that I had never thought of, and it made me feel along the way. Overall I thought it was fantastic. 5/5 Salkil's at the mall.
