Description

Ten years after the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps, filmmaker Alain Resnais documented the abandoned grounds of Auschwitz. One of the first cinematic reflections on the horrors of the Holocaust, Night and Fog (Nuit et brouillard) contrasts the stillness of the abandoned camps’ quiet, empty buildings with haunting wartime footage. With Night and Fog, Resnais investigates the cyclical nature of man’s violence toward man and presents the unsettling suggestion that such horrors could come again.

  • Grim Reminder

    I saw this for the first time in high school. At the end of the movie all I could say was, “ Who allowed this to happen?!?! “ I’m now 64 and after watching the movie, again, all I can say is, “ We allowed this to happen. “ A grim reminder of what populism, nationalism and an authoritarian regime can do a human being. A bone chilling, cold documentary of a time that can never be forgotten.

    Arguably the most compelling and poignant documentary of the Holocaust. If you haven’t watched it, you are missing out on one of the best.
