Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times A film that honors memory without stooping to sentimentalism, tracing Austria's role in the Holocaust through one Jewish family's experience. Nov 20, 2014 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg New York Times Personal testimony is clearly the heart of the movie. As filmmakers from Claude Lanzmann ("Shoah") to Steven Spielberg (through his Shoah visual history foundation) have shown us, this is what's essential to share. Aug 28, 2014 Full Review Daphne Howland Village Voice Shadows From My Past is like a box stuffed with old letters and photographs: Things may be out of order, but, stay with it, and you'll soon have voices in your head, a story even. Aug 26, 2014 Full Review Simi Horwitz Film Journal International It is indeed uncomfortable to admit that a Holocaust documentary feels a tad generic, and while the film runs only 85 minutes, it seems much longer.
