Description
The text of Lanzmann's film on the Holocaust. More than a decade in the making, the film features contemporary views of the sites of the death camps - avoiding documentary footage of corpses and confiscated clothing - interspersed with interviews with survivors, Polish villagers, former Nazis, and others. Holocaust historian Raul Hilberg provides insightful comments about the process of destruction, and Jan Karski, courier of the Polish government-in exile, recounts his horrifying visit to the Warsaw ghetto
