The Truth story about Poland's turbulent times.

With the spread of computers and the rapid expansion of Internet communication networks, our daily lives have undergone dramatic changes in just the past few years. If you want to know the history of human wars, all you have to do is put your finger on your device and trace it. With just that simple operation, you can learn about most of the past. Those of us living in the present day have become more knowledgeable about past events than those who lived in the past.

However, it is. The masterpiece ``The Pianist'' (2002), which has taken film awards and film festivals by storm around the world, cruelly depicts the fact that even in the modern age, where we have access to the past, there are aspects of war that we have yet to see. It confronts me.

``The Pianist'' is a story based on historical fact that looks at the unseen aspects of the Holocaust, the persecution of Jews by Nazi Germany. On September 1, 1939, the German army invaded Poland without declaring war, and the following day, on the 2nd, they bombed the capital Warsaw, concentrating on the Jewish-populated areas in the north. Furthermore, on the 17th of the same year, Soviet troops invaded eastern Poland, and on the 28th of the same year, the German-Soviet Border Friendship Treaty was concluded. The eastern part of Poland was occupied by the Soviet Union, and the western part, including the capital Warsaw, was occupied by Germany, and the country was almost divided into two.

Wladyslaw Szpilman (Adrien Brody), also known as Władyk, is playing Chopin's Nocturne on the Polish state radio station where he works. During the performance, the entire radio station shakes violently with the sound of a bombing. It was a sudden attack by the German army. At the beginning of the film, the scene of the German army's invasion of Poland, which sparked the beginning of World War II, is depicted with a sense of urgency, and a bombing signal signals the beginning of Władyk's cruel fate. Within just a few days, Warsaw was besieged by the Nazis.

Władyk, a pianist, suffers from Nazi persecution for several years in occupied Poland. All of their property was confiscated and they were forced to move to a hastily constructed ghetto (separate residential area for Jews). Later in life, Władiku and his family were deported to another location. The destination was a death camp for the extermination of Jews. Unexpectedly, only one member of the family, Wwadik, survived. The rest of the family got on the wagon of death, and the family was separated. However, even after that, Władyk faced a harsh fate of life or death in Poland, which had become a battlefield until the German army withdrew from Warsaw.

Wladysław Szpilman, who suffered brutal persecution, published his memoirs shortly after the war. This spectacular and miraculous experience had a great impact on film director Roman Polanski, who was also raised in a Jewish family. This work, ``The Pianist '', is The Truth story of Władyk's surprising fate, brilliantly visualized through the skill of master Roman Polanski. It's not easy to just do a quick search on the internet. If you don't see this movie, if you don't see this footage, you won't be able to tell us everything about the Holocaust.
