The story that director, Edward Zwick is in such a rush to get to is actually well worth telling, just not worth the steps he took to get there. By reducing the holocaust to an opening credits montage so that the audience is brought up to speed is such an offensive trivialization of a mind-blowing tragedy that it is a miracle that DEFIANCE ever manages to recover from its first few moments.
