incomprehensible

I have never understood why these people, who are also human, can do such things to their fellow citizens. I vaguely remember that Hitler was discriminated against or insulted by his Jewish classmates when he was a child. In short, he was treated unfairly, so he would treat them like this in the future, but how could one person's will control so many officers and soldiers to do this willingly for him? Even if the military orders are like mountains, can you do things against your will? What's more, these German officers and soldiers are still very willing to enjoy doing this? Nazi behavior is beyond my common sense and understanding. It can only be said that they are not normal people.

    Aaron Resnay's documentary exposing the horrors of Nazi concentration camps, although only a short 32 minutes, has always been recognized as a masterpiece of documentary films, and the shocking effect is far more than "Schindler's List". Especially the piles of hair, skulls and corpses of women, dry prisoners, human skins with marks printed on them, and scratches on the walls in the gas chamber are all impressive. Can't think of a reason not to give it five stars.

    The icy impact is piercing. What did the director do? The color motion photography of the current concentration camp, edited in black and white, is a real-life documentary clip of the concentration camp. The close-up of the face of the dead body is suddenly interspersed at the end. It is so chilling and speechless for 30 minutes. The narration is very well written, calm and restrained and elegant, but it is thought-provoking, especially at the end, as if the director sent a scrutiny to the heart of the viewer from behind the screen.
