This haunting film tears at our very essence. Narrated by a Holocaust survivor in a subdued, restrained voice, some of the most horrific images of inhumanity are presented matter-of-factly, having more impact than virtually any other cinematic presentation I've seen. I had a high school teacher who, himself, was in a German prison camp. After his own liberation, he had the experience of being part of the force that went into the death camps. He showed us pictures that I'm sure would have been seen as inappropriate for our young eyes. These images have stayed with me my whole life. I owe him a debt of gratitude for his courage in bringing us into his world. I think that this brief film probably did the same thing for people of that era. The films that have been put together, the still photos, and the insightful commentary have an enormous impact. Don't watch unless you have a strong stomach. The pictures tell the story and they pull no punches.
