Education for the uneducated. It is funny that I stumbled across this movie, because I am from America, and recently traveled from Munich, Germany to Cologne, Germany to get information on an editorial piece that I was working on. The topic was "How educated on the so-called 'Hitler Years' is the German youth today?" This movie hit it spot on. I am a World War 2 historian and have been intently studying the National Socialist regime for about 12 years now, and have written a few short books and a few editorials on the subject for various magazines, When asked questions at first, the typical German would almost shy away from answering, due to my instantly noticeable American accent, but when we get to further talking, it is a part of history that is basically forgotten. Many people, as in this movie, would have facts wrong or twisted, or just gave you blank stare. I can understand why this part of history would want to be forgotten in Germany, but remember the old saying "When history is forgotten, it is bound to repeat itself." This film depicts a typical day-in-the-life of an SS Guard/Jew at Auschwitz. They even had the Sonderkommand. This film puts you there. Not for the faint of heart, but for the historian.

Meh... Not a documentary per se and not a movie exactly. Seemed like it was rushed and very little (no) introduction to where we arrive in the film in relation to the dark timeline and history of Auschwitz. This could really have been a jolting and a much better awareness film. I applaud the effort and commend the director for his intentions for making it, its just not a great piece.

We need never for get!! For future generations.
