Movie Haiku:Haunting film about two young people who escape the murder of their families & find each other in a barn at the edge of the Russian border. Unlike so many Holocaust films, THE PIN is delicate & understated, showing how the power of imagination under impossible circumstances became a tool of survival. DIALOGUE IN YIDDISH (with subtitles of course)! Not yet seen by Rich.
