A stunning and important addition to the growing culture discourse on trauma and its aftermath, FORGIVING DR. MENGELE is a rare achievement in Holocaust documentary. Directors Bob Hercules and Cheri Pugh's story focuses on Eva Mozes Kor, a compelling protagonist if there ever was one. Kor, a Midwestern real estate agent, was, along with her twin sister Miriam, the victim of sadistic medical experiments while imprisoned at Auschwitz during the Holocaust. One of numerous unlucky guinea pigs tortured by Doctor Mengele, aka the "God of Auschwitz", Kor has forged a campaign to help victims of that atrocious genocide to learn to forgive. Forgiveness of Nazis, of course, is practically taboo in a culture of reverent Holocaust commemoration and its attached moral polarities, yet this victim believes it is the only way to heal. When her twin sister tragically dies due to the aftereffects of Mengele's experiments, Kor attempts to seek out the perpetrator through extensive research. Though unable to find Mengele, she does find another former Nazi doctor, who is not only filled with remorse for his deeds, but used his position to save many of those Jews he was enlisted to victimize. Together, the two travel to the site of his atrocities and her torture, Auschwitz, where she formally forgives him. Outspoken and unsentimental, Kor deals with the traumas of her past not by silencing them, but by confronting them head on and working through them to heal. Though it is, she maintains, a personal choice, it is one that numerous other Holocaust survivors find an offensive betrayal to the horrors in their own pasts. Interweaving archival footage with verite clips of Kor's journey to forgiveness, FORGIVING DR. MENGELE is conventional in form, but as unique a documentary in content as is the protagonist herself.

Walker Brothers Ultimate Collection CD  (2008)

Forgiving Dr. Mengele film
CD $11.89
This two-CD compilation, assembled from the Walker Brothers' three albums and various singles released by Philips between 1965 and 1967, gives a good overview of their U.K. history without limiting itself to their hits. The sound quality is good if not exceptional -- one gets the sense that another round of remastering would be in order (and while we're talking about sound, wouldn't one like to see a Mobile Fidelity reissue on the Walker Brothers or, for that matter, Scott Walker's best solo stuff?). And the track order isn't chronological -- their two best-known songs, which were not their first two U.K. singles -- occupy the opening two slots on disc one. So this set is lacking in some attributes that one would, ideally, like to se. On the other hand, all of the songs that one would like to see are here somewhere, and the annotation is thorough if not extensive. For anyone starting a collection of the classic Walker Brothers' material, this set -- which also carries the subtitle "My Ship Is Coming In" -- is a great place to start and finish, assuming that one doesn't wish to own everything that they did during their British period. ~ Bruce Eder 2009 two CD set from the '60s trio, who have become one of the most revered Pop outfits of their time.

Blues, Blues Christmas Vol. 2 CDs  (2005)

Forgiving Dr. Mengele review
CD $16.39  Top 500
Christmas and the blues might seem at first like a strange combination, given that the music of the holiday season is usually joyful, hopeful, and bright, but no other time of the year is so good at showing you what you don't have, and what you can't get, and if you have the blues at Christmas, well, it's going to be a pretty heavy dose. This generous two-disc set from Document Records features 52 tracks of vintage African-American Christmas-themed blues and gospel pieces (with a couple of street sermons thrown in) recorded between 1925 and 1955, ranging from down-and-out laments and jailhouse moans to surprising (and occasionally risqué) requests for what Santa can bring down the chimney. Highlights on the first disc include the opening track, the joyous "Christ Was Born on Christmas Morn," recorded in 1925 by comedian and female impersonator Frankie "Half Pint" Jaxon; Harry Crafton's "Bring That Cadillac Back" (a Cadillac might not be the best gift if your girlfriend likes to ramble) from 1947; Tampa Red's amazing, ringing slide guitar tone on "Christmas and New Year's Blues" from 1936; and the bizarre, disturbing field recording of "Junior's a Jap Girl's Christmas for His Santa Claus," sung by Willie Blackwell for Alan Lomax in Arkansas in 1942. Other high points include the charming "Christmas Boogie," recorded in 1950 by piano prodigy (he was only ten years old when this recording was made) Frankie "Sugar Chile" Robinson and the ...
