I was just telling a friend about that scene. I was too young when I saw that film, 9 I believe, I had a huge interest in the Civil War. That scene wrecked me. Then we see them getting thrown into a mass grave. Brutal.

Au revoir les enfants is on the must see list put out by the Vatican

Vatican's list of films
