Summary: 10 stars!
Review: This is a documentary of the last days of world war II and Germany's preoccupation with annihilating the Jews of Hungary even when they were losing the war instead of focusing their attention on the war they were losing. The video interviews 5 survivors and one SS doctor. There stories are incredible, moving and ultmately uplifting. I found myself watching with tears running down my cheeks. This is an important part of world history that should be required viewing in all world history high school classes. Steven Spielberg's most important work, those are his words, not mine.

Summary: Must See!
Review: This is a very powerful film, and it is no surprise it won the 1998 Academy Award for Best Documentary. The first-hand accounts from five Hungarian Holocaust survivors and several witnesses, plus a Nazi doctor who performed experiments on Auschwitz inmates, are very moving. One of the survivors even meets face-to-face with the Nazi doctor who was in charge of the clinic where the survivor's sister was experimented on and eventually killed. Their meeting left me chilled. I've read numerous books and have seen other documentaries on the Holocaust and this film is a must see!The DVD version offers other features such as a Steven Spielberg introduction, outtakes and behind the scenes footage, a survivor's photo gallery and a production photo gallery.

Summary: Truthful, powerful, a masterpiece.
Review: This is an incredibly emotional film. It shows the brutality of the Holocaust from the POV of 5 Hungarian survivors. I used this film as an educational tool. It is not preachy or too graphic. Spielberg does a masterful job at covering all angles of the survivors' stories. A must have for educators who teach the Holocaust!

Summary: A real-life heart-wrenching documentry
Review: this is the most powerful film i have ever seen, the pain of the survivors is just tear-jerking, the fact that people did this stuff (and in some places still do) is just unbelievable on how gross humans can get and be. there is clips on the survivors of the death camps, in real-life WHEN they were liberated, so it shows "the walking dead" walking skeletons with barely enough energy to stumble around with no idea. It is a most powerful documentry. i HIGHLY reccommend, so see it, it will make you think.

Summary: Powerful, moving portrait of Hungarian Holocaust survivors.
Review: This masterful film documents the experiences of five Hungarian Holocaust survivors. Their stories are told through a combination of their own words, historical footage and films of their current lives. Especially moving are the survivors' return visits to their former homes and concentration camps. These haunting stories are told with courage and quiet dignity and each one is ultimately a tale of survival. This film tells its many tragic stories vividly, emotionally, and beautifully.

Summary: Holocaust - Our pain and embarrasment to be humans
Review: Warning : This documentary will make you weep. A couple of people (out of millions who got killed during the holocaust) that survived the Holocaust (in other words the embarrasment of all humans who could do something to prevent it) will pinch you from the room you'll be watching them into their lives. You'll find yourself inside the Concentration camps, you'll lose everything you ever had. You'll be a Jew...
But then you'll get liberated by U.S.A., and then even though bad memories and sad realities will haunt you - You're FREE and HAPPY despite it all. Nazi's hated Jews so much. And after all what Nazi's did to all Jews and Humanity I find it extremely difficult to hate them too even though I feel that Nazi's to my eyes when I see them on TV are as Jews were to them in WWII. You must watch this documentary! It is a must. Especially for people who protested against American and British Policy about war. If U.S.A. goes into war - understand and be very sure that they do that only for one reason : LIBERATING and REKINDLING the lives of the oppressed, hopeless people. This is what makes U.S.A so PROUD and the rest of us so honored to know that in case we're treated unfairly we have someone watching over us. America on Earth and God from Above.

Summary: A dose of reality
Review: We all love good drama and music, but I also believe we need to be in touch with reality; the reality of evil at work in the world. Everyone who wants to make a positive difference needs to see this movie. Rent it or buy it. See SHOA if you get a chance. It's similar, but 9 hrs. in length. Thank you, Steven Spielberg for bringing this movie to us.

Summary: Jaw dropping!
Review: Wonderful documentary. This movie was shown at a Holocaust Symposium at my University. After watching the movie, one of the survivors on the video got up and answered our questions. She was very real, very honest, and her stories were shocking. The pictures shown in this movie are so enlightening (if that's a good word). The survivors even take us back to the camp after 50 years, and we can see that there are still buildings standing. They show that their lives can continue - even if they still have a number tatooed into their skin.
