Originally made with a German soundtrack for screening in occupied Germany and Austria, this was the first documentary to show what the Allies found when they liberated the Nazi extermination camps: the survivors, the conditions, and the evidence of mass murder.

sometimes I forget that the bodies of those murdered had to be dealt with. a film like this is a reminder about it and fills the mind with utter fear. the footage seeps into the brain and never leaves.

Probably the most horrifying and graphic holocaust movie/short-film I've ever seen. Directed by Billy Wilder which is crazy because you wouldn't think that he would turn to doing the best comedy movies only a few years after this...

There’s some absolutely horrifying footage in this documentary.. Which does make sense regarding the subject matter, but still.

Rating this feels weird but as a documentary it’s not exactly the best made thing ever.
