Mark - these films were taken of adults and children happily enjoying the spirit of Christmas - at exactly the same time mass deportations and murder of the Jews and other victims were in full swing. Perhaps you should also show films depicting that, to show how these people were "enjoying" their Christmas season at exactly the same time. There are plenty of them. My grandmother and 7 year old aunty were deported from Leipzig and murdered at Riga on Jan 21, 1942. At Christmas 1941 my grandmother was doing slave labour prior to deportation, while starving on her meager rations. This is the REAL Christmas spirit of those times, not what you are showing.
I find it highly offensive and insensitive that you would post these films.
