Description
States that Lanzmann's intention is to demonstrate to the viewer that the Jewish Holocaust was "unique and incomparable". The uncompromising restriction of the topic creates an impression that the Jews were abandoned by all mankind, and that all mankind was insensitive to their fate. This is untrue and disheartening, particularly for postwar and future generations of Jews.
