edit"This is a rather disillusioning and even more tragic ending, which does not seem worthy of the story since it is quite predictable." Extreme violation of NPOV. Should be deleted alltogether, in my opinion? Does anyone agree and have the time to add another sentence about the Ending in the film. DeadCow 09:13, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
The person who wrote this article made a spirited effort, but this page needs some grammatical cleanup. I might do it myself later, if I don't forget and no one else does it.
-Edit- I did find the time, and make the cleanup. Hopefully someone who actually READ the book and SAW the film can see if I forgot anything.
The ending of the 1975 version of the film is incredibly different than that which is listed. Kowalski hangs himself after Jakob tells him he cannot keep the lie up anymore, and then there is a sign posted in the ghetto telling all Jews to gather at 1500--the viewer is to assume they're being sent to the concentration camps. The final scene is in the train car with Jakob, Lina, Mischa, and Rosa in a group, and Lina staring at the clouds. It is to be assumed that all of them died.
This is an extremely messy, poorly-written description of the novel. Surely someone who knows it well can do a superior job.68.72.102.78 (talk) 01:34, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
