, Literary youth certainly can’t understand this movie
, At least those who have watched Shoah of Lanzman will understand
, First of all, all this happened in extermination camps, generally in the white birch forests of Poland, isolated from the world.
Ordinary concentration camps focus on labor and detention, and extermination camps directly kill Jews and dispose of their bodies. In large extermination camps like Lucknow, Poland, the daily workload of meat grinders ranges from thousands to 10,000. For example, the overnight work in the film can be judged that World War II has entered the late stage. Between 41 and 45 years later, the frequency of handling dead bodies became more frequent.
See section 5 of this article for details.
The starring Géza Röhrig took a degree in film and studied under István Szabó (his Mephisto won the first best foreign language film award for Hungary, this is the second). He has published two poems about the catastrophe "Book of Incineration" Hamvasztókönyv (literally "Book of Incineration", 1995) and "Captive" Fogság ("Captivity", 1997), and lives in New York.

Many people would say that it was a miracle that Sol was able to escape the camp. But those who know history know that this is very real, combined with the memoirs of quite a few survivors. Especially during the escape period, on the eve of the surrender of Germany in World War II, the number of German troops in the battalion was so small that they could not resist organized escape. In the real version, Lanzman made a documentary "Sobibor" and interviewed Lerner, the man who successfully escaped from prison. It was made into a movie in 18 years.
Claude Lanzmann’s evaluation is very high: "it's a very new film, very original, very unusual. It's a film that gives a very real sense of what it was like to be in the Sonderkommando. It's not at all melodramatic. It's done with a very great modesty".

Whether it is Sol's son or not, this is already a core question. Even the director said not sure in the commentary track.
The fact is that this is his illegitimate child and may be fostered in Hungary or Poland. Sol keeps asking others where this train comes from? Just to ascertain this fact. He himself doesn't know if this is his son? Because of this teenage boy, he hadn't seen him much at all.
He is crazy! In order to bury his son, he actually survived in the gas chamber and was suffocated to death by the doctor. Suo Lai killed several living people: a Greek rabbi Renegade (Jewish priest), a Jewish medical doctor Personnel, he even lost an important piece of equipment, and he almost died twice.
Why is he doing this?
First of all, as he himself said, there is no difference between the personnel of the working group and the dead. But he felt that he had never done anything for his children before he was alive, and he had to use his life to make up for it.
Talk to yourself like "Texas, Paris".

What the hell is the Jewish prayer?
Technically speaking, to pray for the dead, it is best to have two rabbis.
Kaddish cannot be recited alone.
Reading is Ezekiel 38:23, God is the most exalted and great in the kingdom of man. יְהֵא שְׁמֵהּ רַבָּא מְבָרַךְ לְעָלַם וּלְעָלְמֵי עָלְמֵי עָלְמֵי עָלְמֵי עָלְ beless for his kingdom all begrès ever, whose blessed name and his eternal name and his eternal for Hisless, be ְָָמַיָּא, all for his kingdom, be ever

It is impossible to describe the Holocaust in film language.
The catastrophe cannot be reproduced.
Spielberg never tried to reproduce the scene of the extermination camp in Schindler's list. It was done by plagiarizing the plot of Eastern European films.
I have seen only two films that show this, one is War and Remembrance, a series made in the United States, and the second is this one.
The subjective perspective, avoiding the highly uncomfortable scenes for the audience, is the scene of dealing with clusters of corpses. The motive of looking for a son runs throughout, interspersed in every corner of the extermination camp, making the whole film integrated.
Like Dante’s Divine Comedy, the middle-aged author wanders in every corner of all levels of hell.
The Holocaust needs a guide, just as Dante needs Virgil.
Then lend the perspective to our audience.
He could have witnessed, but because his life is not guaranteed, he is not an active observer.

The main technical reference objects are the Italian neo-realist bike thief, and Sukulov. Not a third-rate Hungarian director like Bella Tal.

The story takes place in the Auschwitz concentration camp (a prison break) in October 1944. The main characters are:
Saul Ausländer (Géza Röhrig), from Ungvár, a border city of Hungary, Slovakia, and Ukraine.
Abraham (Levente Molnár) is the closest person to Saul. The team member who decided to join the uprising with Oberkapo Biedermann (Urs Rechn) asked S to go to the women’s camp Fried Ella (probably his wife) to get gunpowder. He and Ukrainian prisoners of war were in contact with each other.
Doctor Miklós (Sándor Zsótér), a prisoner of war, finally helped Saul.
Rabbi Frankel (Jerzy Walczak) refuses to pray for Saul, but saves Saul at the end of the film and pulls him out of the water.
Before being cleaned, Biedermann insisted on using a camera to record evidence of Nazi atrocities. In the end, Saul and Katz went to the hut to complete the process and filmed the cremation process.
Mietek (Kamil Dobrowolski), the team leader of the Greek Rabbi Renegade, is a very bad-tempered Polish duo. It was him who saved Saul twice.
SS-commandant Voss (Uwe Lauer) asked Biedermann to write about the execution of 70 people in the working group.
Braun (Todd Charmont), a Frenchman, was among the new batch of Hungarian executed. The incinerator was overloaded and the Germans had to shoot and bury them alive. He convinced Saul that he was a rabbi and took his life.
The great demon Voss appears in the film. In fact, he built all the extermination camps for Simley and killed a million Jews with his own hands, including the initial extermination camp experiment in Poland, planning, construction, and management of concentration camps. He did it all. He appears in the middle of the film, and Sol helps him clean up the table. In fact, its appearance is contrary to the facts, because on May 9, 1944, his job was changed by Moll. Therefore, this is the moment to deliberately show this great demon and let him appear in the mirror. The following is the English information:
Peter Voss (December 18, 1897 – 1976), was an SS-Oberscharführer, known for his role as a commander of the crematoria and gas chambers at Auschwitz-Birkenau,buildings which were used to gas and burn some 900,000 of the 1.1 million people that perished at Auschwitz-Birkenau, German Nazi concentration camp in Poland.
In 2005, when Nemes Nimitz photographed The Man from London from Béla Tarr, he found a book The Scrolls of Auschwitz, which is a testimony from the working group. In 2010, they started to write the script with Roye. The first draft was completed the following year. They began to research and interview many historians, such as Gideon Greif, Philippe Mesnard, Zoltán Vági. Professor Greif's book We Wept without Tears made Nimitz decide to use the working group as the perspective.
