What do Britney Spears and the Holocaust have in common?
Posted by Danielle Berrin
I’m not sure what to make of the director that thinks Britney Spears should star in a Holocaust movie (or any movie, for that matter) but rumors have the pop star returning to the silver screen to do just that.
Spears last starred in “Crossroads” which may sound unfamiliar because hardly anyone saw it.
According to Haaretz, Spears has been offered the lead in “The Yellow Star of Sophia and Eton,” which, according to the Israeli newspaper, “integrates time travel, concentration camps and a love story.” (Have you ever heard a stranger concatenation of plot points?) Spears would play the title role of Sophia LaMont, the female inventor of a time machine that whisks her to a concentration camp where she meets her beshert. Spears has yet to confirm her commitment because the snake-wielding chanteuse is currently touring in her “Circus” show. Although, I’m not sure why anyone would see the movie since it’s already been spoiled: the star-crossed lovers die at Nazi hands.
That’s too much Britney blues for me.

This film is sure to put all the deniers in their place.
What’s important is that we teach our children the truth about the Holocaust. Whether someone made a poor casting decision is virtually irrelevant.
I wrote about the Holocaust because I felt it critical to discount Holocaust deniers. These mendacious historical revisers desire only one thing - to finish that which Hitler began with the Jewish people. There are many vulnerable individuals whose weak minds can be turned into hatred of minorities. It happened in 20th Century Europe. It can happen again. If we had learned from the Holocaust, we would not have witnessed Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda or Darfur. Prejudice continues. Someone has to stop the blind hatred.
“Jacob’s Courage” is a tender coming of age love story of two young adults living in Salzburg at the time when the Nazi war machine enters Austria. This historical novel presents accurate scenes and situations of Jews in ghettos and concentration camps, with particular attention to Theresienstadt and Auschwitz. It explores the dazzling beauty of passionate love and enduring bravery in a lurid world where the innocent are murdered. From despair, to unforgettable moments of chaste beauty, “Jacob’s Courage” examines a constellation of emotions during a time of incomprehensible brutality.
The worst characterization of the human experience is revealed through religious, ethnic, gender or racial prejudice. Only when we learn to value the differences among us will humankind move forward into a bright future. If we fail to learn this lesson, only darkness remains for our progeny.
Very funny considering that the premise itself is fiction-based and proves nothing either way. Regardless, there isn’t much of a hook for a story and furthermore after the last volley of movies during the last “holiday” season, I must say I had my fill of movies in this genre, so thanks but no thanks.
In another related note, I am happy for Britney getting a role in the screen regardless of whether it becomes or not a success.
Deniers? Who cares! No one should be “afraid” of deniers except those who doubt it’s legitimacy. Please don’t be so paranoid, Israel won’t go anywhere regardless.
I think it is great idea ! I have another one : inside the Auschwitz concentration camp a young genius XYZ ,an expert on DNA , who is working in a stone quarry one discovers the dinosaur egg.
Working in secret ,by night , he is able to create alive T-REX and use him as a secret weapon against the ss and Gestapo.
Pity Michael Jackson passed a way.He will be perfect as the young genius..After so many experiments on himself he would be the most convincing.

your so popler
If she accepts the role, Britney will reportedly play the main role of Sophia LaMont, who creates a time machine and travels back to World War II where she meets a Jewish man called Eton at a concentration camp. They then fall in love and travel back to the present day with the intention of getting married but they are both killed by Nazis.
Hollywood DEFINITELY doesn’t focus on the Holocaust at the expense of all other historical atrocities that came before, during, and after.
In fact, just like Seinfeld mentioned Superman in every episode, it should be a law that every Hollywood movie mention the Holocaust at least once.
Filming of the new movie is set to begin in December, immediately after the end of Spears’ Circus tour, but the pop star has yet to confirm her participation in the project.
It is reprehensible to combine the issue of the Holocaust with Britney Spears in an attempt to secure financing for the film ‘The Yellow Star of Sophia and Eton.’ Ethical considerations should have priority.
This reminds me of a story I heard about Pia Zadora. Back in the 80’s she actually played the role of Ann Frank in a stage production (I don’t know where). It is near the end of the final act when the Dutch police break into the building. It was reported that many people in the audience started shouting, “She’s in the attic!”
I would say that Britney is lovely here.
Britney is great looking girl.
