There are no words to truly describe the horror when that small patrol stumbles upon the camp. From there on out, all the soldiers can do nothing but look in horror at the jewish folk who have been through hell over and over again.

I believe that this is the most powerful part of this episode, the fact that so much is conveyed by such little words. The director appeals to the senses of sight and sound, with the brutal scenes of the camp and the malnourished dead strewn across the ground, and the Beethoven in the background. The music "fills in" the void left by what little dialogue there is at some points. If you have not watched this, i highly suggest you do, but be prepared to leave with the feelings of anger, frustration, despair, and the agonizing, gut-wrenching hole left where your heart was.
