Featured review
A 30-hour journey into hell
The movie covers the trial, which took almost two years, in a court in Frankfurt of the men who ran Auschwitz. Frankly, many long segments of it are boring. Some are very moving.
In covering its subject, the movie also reviews the whole gamut of the 12-year "1,000-year Reich," even the trial in Jerusalem of Adolf Eichmann.
Perhaps because there were no survivors, the film does not cover the abuse of Soviet prisoners of war in Auschwitz, especially the horrible medical experiments that they were subjected to (I recall one from another source in which two Russians were submerged in ice water, either to see how long it would take them to die, or to see whether they could be resuscitated by being placed between two naked women).
But the movie concentrates on the murder of Jewish children, while the accused denied all.
