Review by Rotkiv89

This is a documentary truly made for a young and deeply uneducated viewer who doesn't read books, who has to see the kristallnacht or Babij Jar reenacted in poorly and tacky made scenes (which doesn't do the crimes of the Holocaust justice either) in order to understand what it was like. A thing like Babij Jar which normal generations automatically has known about since elementary school by reading history books, is instead reenacted in a 5 minute b-movie-like scene here for the generations who no longer read books or who no longer can listen to a witness or survivor without a fidger spinner in their hand. Not all but some of the younger (and mostly US american) historians interviewed here says things like "and I can't understand why they did this!" (about the Holocaust). I say if you are a historian and do not - then it is about time to read a book instead... The positive part I can say about this documentary is the Nürnberg parts, as it brings up some few details not known before. But that's it. The rest of the of the documentary is about things that one should learn about in books by educated historians and which is so basic for humanity and sadly here treated like a b-movie tv-production reenactment.

If you want a serious documentary, watch Shoah, or Hotel Terminus, or Night and Fog, and so on. Or maybe a tiktok-using youth would get bored by them? Sad, if so.
