Kate Winslet's Oscar chances hit by The Reader Nazi accusation




Telegraph - Kate Winslet's chances of Oscar glory are being hit by an orchestrated campaign to dismiss her film The Reader as an apologia for Nazi Germany. Ron Rosenbaum, the author of the critically acclaimed book Explaining Hitler, last week branded the film inaccurate and "the worst Holocaust film ever made", and called on Oscar judges to shun it. His views received support from Mark Weitzman, the New York head of the Nazi-hunting Simon Wiesenthal Centre, who labelled The Reader one of a series of recent Hollywood films that is guilty of "Holocaust revisionism".
