Peter Ruppert, a digital media buyer for the film’s distributor, MovieFarm, informed Newton that Facebook had banned the filmmakers from promoting or advertising the recently finished 2009 thriller, which marks Roy Scheider’s final performance, on its platforms. The social media giant said the film’s title, which refers to the eye color of a child who perished at the hands of the Nazis and invokes a key scene in the movie, violated its policy against content that “includes direct or indirect assertions or implications about a person’s race,” among other personal attributes.

This is censorship at it's worst to discourage the telling of the actual circumstance of those horrible events in History and EXPOSING the racism involved. Just how in any way that can be construed as promoting such a thing is pretty disgusting. It looks more like an attempt to remove and forget this was part of promoting a superior race agenda by the Nazi's and a story that should be told and NOT hidden. A History buried is a History forgotten and that sort of ignorance will often result in it being repeated.
