An important film
27 December 2023
An important film with good narration which I learnt quite a lot from. The most powerful part for me was the section on the community being beaten and rounded up to be taken away during December 1939. The film is short, about an hour or so, it pulls as much as it possibly can from 3 minutes of archive footage. It lacks context or explanations though about why this was happening, what was the situation in Germany and Poland during the 1930s. It never matches the film Shoah in it's scope and filmmaking art, in fact there is something quite uncinematic about this, possibly to do with the fact it was made during various Covid lockdowns in different countries. It is quite informative though and deals with a very important subject matter.
