@37th hkiff: A total of 9 and a half hours of footage. There is no footage. It is either a visit to the scene or an interview with related people. The documentary is not to pretend to be history, but to record the present. The interviewees' memories, their expressions all represented those dark days. Refusal to admit that what I knew back then was not to recognize the crime, but to deceive even myself. I was afraid of admitting it, and I didn't even have the courage to...

"The Catastrophe" and "Night and Fog" are exactly at the two extremes of the Jewish-themed films of World War II. One uses short science fiction to directly attack the terrifying reality scene, while this film uses the long narrative of later interviews and memories to realize epic images of historical material...

A comprehensive display of perspectives from different directions in this human node event. The one with the most uncontrollable emotions was the Polish spy who got in touch with the Jews. He had no experience but visited the ghetto twice. The value of a documentary cannot be replaced by a book. There are smiles on the faces of the perpetrators, victims and bystanders, but the interpretation is completely...

9 and a half minutes, which lasted for three days; the most tragic racial catastrophe in human history is reproduced in the form of witnesses, and it is also a true test of the viewer's vision, mind and endurance; the remains of the tragic experience still exist , but the corpses everywhere are nowhere to be found, and all we can do is to look for it in images and words, to understand it, and to cite history as an admonishment; fear cannot be felt, just like the word "horror" cannot be...

After watching it in a week, I feel that the time is too long and can be simplified. A lot of pages actually talk about the same content. It is estimated that the director is trying to show the authenticity and credibility of the content. The scenes narrated by the parties, in conjunction with the shooting of the current ruins, are particularly real, and cruel scenes can be imagined, but they cannot be completely imagined. Forget the national humiliation that we mention every year, in fact,...

After watching the first episode, it took a few months before I dared to watch the next episode. This area is more than nine hours long, and the night and fog are only half an hour. It is higher than this area and I don't know where it...

Also Talking about "The Catastrophe"
In the middle of this year, my birthday and university graduation ceremony happened just one day apart. During these two meaningful days, I decided to challenge myself in watching movies, so I chose "Havoc" which I hadn't watched on the computer for a long time. After watching it, I was naturally...

Excerpt
An example of false resistance
Rudolf Vrba: The Resistance leadership in Auschwitz was concentrated in the hands of ... German-speaking anti-Nazis, who were German by birth, were considered racially pure by the Nazi hierarchy. They got a bit better treatment than the rest of the camp. I don't say...

Claude Lanzmann: Yes, but do you know how many people died in the ghetto each month in 1941?
Franz Grassler: I don't know now, if I ever knew.
Claude Lanzmann: But you did know. There are exact figures.
Franz Grassler: I probably knew...
Claude Lanzmann: Yes. Five thousand a month.
Franz Grassler: Five thousand a month? Yes, well... That's a lot...

Richard Glazar: [describing his arrival at Treblinka] We were taken to a barracks. The whole place stank. Piled about five feet high in a jumbled mass, were all the things people could conceivably have brought. Clothes, suitcases, everything stacked in a solid mass. On top of it, jumping around like demons, people were making bundles and carrying them outside. It was turned over to one of these men. His armband said 'Squad Leader'. He shouted, and I understood that I was also to pick up clothing, bundle it, and take it somewhere. As I worked, I asked him: "What's going on? Where are the ones who stripped?" And he replied: "Dead! All Dead!" But it still hadn't sunk in, I didn't believe it. He'd used the Yiddish word. It was the first time I'd had heard Yiddish spoken. He didn't say it very loud, and I saw he had tears in his eyes. Suddenly, he started shouting, and raised his whip. Out of the corner of my eye I saw an SS man coming. And I understood that I was to ask no more questions, but just to rush outside with the package.
