Description

Collection of documentaries about the Holocaust directed by Claude Lanzmann. 'Shoah' (1985) presents a horrifying picture of the Nazi extermination camps and features interviews with both survivors and former guards. 'A Visitor from the Living' (1997) features an interview with WWII Red Cross official Maurice Rossel who wrote a report on the concentration camps.

'Sobibór, October 14, 1943, 4PM' (2001) documents the Sobibór Revolt of 1943, one of three uprisings by Jewish prisoners in extermination camps. 'The Karski Report' (2010) focuses on the life of Polish resistance fighter Jan Karski who, during WWII, alerted the Allies to the mass genocide that was being committed in Nazi concentration camps. Finally, in 'The Last of the Unjust' (2013), Lanzmann explores the actions of Benjamin Murmelstein, the last president of the Theresienstadt Jewish Council.
