Sabina: Tortured for Christ - The Nazi Years

I was blessed to meet Richard and Sabina back in 1991. This film was acurate to their stroy of a Jewish couple who rescued many from the Nazi gas chambers. After the war when the Soviets took over Eastern Europe Richard was sent to a prison camp for sharing his faitn in Yeshua (Jeusus) with other people. This persecution still takes place in many countries. It is ironic that this film should come at as the Russians are starting to invade Ukraine and families of refugees are now pouring iinto countires that once housed concetration camps.

While the overall story was powerful, we did have some issues watching it. There were many points in the movie where the soundtrack and/or background noises were too loud to hear what was being said and there was no option for subtitles on the VOM platform we watched from. This is my reason for the rating. We read later that Sabina was one of the founders of VOM which was not mentioned in the movie or even at the end, an important and interesting fact that we felt should have been mentioned.

This was better than what I expected!

So well done, the characters looked exactly like the original people!

What a story... it's unbelievable that people had the bravery and depth of faith these two had!

I want to purchase the DVD of this!

Is there a way we stream this for those how missed the movie in the theaters?

Thank you!

Nancy.

Great movie! If you're like me and are reading reviews hoping to see if this is okay for kiddos to watch, this is for you. My girls are 5, 11, and 13. While the youngest didn't really have any interest, this movie is safe for them to watch. There was implied violence etc, but no actual violence was shown that I can recall (there are obviously some fearful scenes because of the plot and setting). There was some alcohol and partying (mostly before the couple got saved, and the bad guys). I didn't hear any curse words. If you feel your children are old enough to understand the impact of this type of movie, I'd say it's a good one. It shows the importance of accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior, and how He can change your life to make you more like Him. My husband, our kids, and my in laws really thought this was a solid movie (and my in laws are extremely conservative and will barely watch any TV or movies). Watch it, and spread the word.

Wife found out about the film and its Christian historical message and we attended with hope that movie quality and production would appeal to us and curious movie goers. The first third of the movie was a bit quick to introduce the characters and develop relationships but once the leading male character began acting on his new faith the "care" for the characters and their mission solidified the story. Dramatic elements were good and cast and production were solid. It was a bit jarring to feel how the Jewish Star of David forced to be worn by the Jews and the papers looked at by the Nazis to identify and control the Romanian Jews is being played out with Covid Vax docs now in America. Watch the movie with someone important to you and you will feel challenged with how we spend our lives and react to adversity and fear for our safety.
