Should be suggested to every Netflix user

This documentary is just shocking and soul shattering beyond words. Can't believe there are some people who completely deny the happening of holocaust. The documentary affected me so much that it's impossible for me to think of Germany without thinking of all those horrors. Every generation should watch it if we are to avoid recurrence of such horrific events in future.

There's no justice in history

I fled Afghanistan because of the never ending war i know the pain of war deeply the sad thing is there's still so much hate in the name of race religion language and national boundaries we humans always try to find reasons to fight and kill each other truly heart wrenching Dying of starvation is not a joke your body is eating himself and painful this was extremely hard to watch breaks my heart into pieces

Never Forget

The Holocaust, as with many atrocity, loses its bite as time goes by as it becomes some distant thing that happened that has no place in modern society for newer generations. However, we should never forget what can happen when a manipulative group gains power and uses divisiveness to sow hatred in the hearts of its people, how "otherness" can lead to such cruelty. Its shocking, its graphic, it happened and it could happen again under the right circumstances.

You'll cry, You'll resent humanity, You'll be angered

This documentary is so uncensored it makes it very impossible to lack empathy. I'm not Jewish, but I felt like I was in the film. I felt the pain and suffering of every victim.

A lot of graphic images and videos are shown of what truly happened. This was a refreshing take compared to what Hollywood has always glamorised for ratings.

I'm only rating this movie 9/10 because I wish it'd been longer. I honestly feel like 50 odd minutes is not enough to capture such inhuman crimes.

When humanity is put aside...

This should be shown to every person who ever claims that the Holocaust didn't really happen. Even though we have all seen snippets of this through the years, the impact of the full film is undeniable. I hope it is always kept available for free viewing. Each generation needs to be made aware of the atrocities of which human beings are capable.

Trivia
Filming the horrifying scenes of Dachau so traumatized Stevens that upon his return to Hollywood after the war he fell into a depressed state, not working and keeping himself apart from the industry. He did eventually return to directing, but completely left behind his prior style as a great comedic director and helmed only serious movies for the rest of his career.

Quotes
Interviewer: How many ways did they execute these men?
Self - US Navy Lieutenant, Mauthausen concentration camp inmate: [Talking to camera and wearing a P.O.W. uniform] Five or six ways: by gas, by shooting, by beating, that is, beating with clubs... uh... by exposure, that is, standing out in the snow naked for forty-eight hours and having cold water thrown on them in the middle of winter, starvation, dogs, and pushing over a hundred-foot cliff. This is all true, has been seen, and is now being recorded.
Interviewer: Where did you get that uniform you have on?
Self - US Navy Lieutenant, Mauthausen concentration camp inmate: This uniform, uh, I came here in uniform, but it was taken away from me, and this was substituted with my number and "U.S.A.". I have been condemned to death as another American also in this camp, but, fortunately, the 11th Armoured has come through and saved us in time.
