(3 continued): He started getting into trouble after our parents died in a car accident ten years earlier. It was real hard on both of us but Kenny had a temper. We had no other family so we just bounced around from one foster home to another. Kenny drove me crazy but he reminded me of our dad.

3) I had just picked up my younger brother Kenny at the county prison farm. He needed some clothes so we stopped at a thrift shop on the way home. Kenny had just done six months for a drunken brawl at a bar. But really he wasn't a bad kid.

Yup. Spielberg tries to make up for this by using all the cinematic cues that index recognizable historical atrocity footage. But, unfortunately, as the movie itself depicts, under fascism people will look right at a movie about this and see nothing.
