Rounding out our little tasting course of 3 movies dealing directly with the Holocaust, November brings us what will surely be the easiest movie we've ever had to talk about.

The year is 1957. Dirk Bogarde is Max, a former concentration camp officer, living in hiding working as a night porter at a hotel in Vienna. His friends are all also Nazis, obsessed with regaining their former station, conducting private trials on each other to try to finally stop feeling guilty about their acts. Max's solitude is obliterated when a former victim of his checks in to the hotel.

CONTENT WARNING: Just about all of them. Maybe give this one a miss if you're not sure

FREE PALESTINE

Hey, Devon here. In our home, we talk a lot about how insane everything feels, and agonise constantly over what can be done to best help the Palestinians trapped in Gaza facing the full brunt of genocidal violence. My partner Rebecca has put together a list of four fundraisers you can contribute to- all of them are at work on the ground doing what they can.

-Palestinian Communist Youth Union, which is doing a food and water effort, and is part of the official communist party of Palestine https://www.gofundme.com/f/to-preserve-whats-left-of-humanity-global-solidarity

-Water is Life, a water distribution project in North Gaza affiliated with an Indigenous American organization and the Freedom Flotilla https://www.waterislifegaza.org/

-Vegetable Distribution Fund, which secured and delivers fresh veg, affiliated with Freedom Flotilla also https://www.instagram.com/linking/fundraiser?fundraiser_id=1102739514947848

-Thamra, which distributes herb and veg seedlings, repairs and maintains water infrastructure, and distributes food made with replanted veg patches https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-thamra-cultivating-resilience-in-gaza
