Walking with the Enemy is a must see for anyone that desires to learn more about World War II and the atrocities involved in the horrific occurrences the Jewish people had to endure. The film is based on true events and the end credits ultimately share what happens to the main characters. Walking with the Enemy is both touching and heartfelt, not unlike Schindler’s List; you will not be disappointed.
Ben Kingsley plays the leader of Hungary, Regent Horthy, and is also stellar in his role. Horthy is trying his best to guide his country between the threatening Nazis and Russia. He is held at gunpoint to either allow the taking/killing of the Jewish citizens or have his son killed.
Your emotions will be touched and you will find yourself unable to not tear up during Walking with the Enemy. Ultimately, you will applaud the demise of the Nazis. Having been unfamiliar with the role Hungary played in World War II, I found it to be very educational.
