DAY 15 Life is Still Beautiful and the idea of a Supreme Being

Now in the concentration camp, Guido hides his son from Nazi guards, always makes humour and sneaks him food.  He does this to protect his son from their grim reality and to keep his spirits up.  Guido convinces Giosue that the camp is really just a game where everyone is trying to earn 1,000 points in order to win a real tank, something Giosue wanted for his birthday.












Have a light-hearted look at how the Bible came to have 10 Commandments.
