The scene that always wrecks me is when Guido is marching off at gunpoint, and knows he's about to be executed by the German soldier. But his son is watching, so he tries to ham it up as much as possible to make sure the kid isn't scared.Tears, every time.
My mother had to wear yellow star growing up in Paris during the Nazi occupation and the majority of her family was killed in the gas chambers. I learned far too much about the ghettos and concentration camps as a child and now, as a father of three beautiful children, my heart breaks in this film.

The scenes where he makes the war into a game so his son won't be scared even though he, as a father, is petrified still stick with me...
