Extract

Within this essay I will discuss The Final Solution, the treatment of Jews, extermination and concentration camps, and experiences of survivors. In my conclusion, I will offer a brief summary, as well as positive aspects and my personal reflections.
The winner of the 1998 Academy Award for Best Documentary, this powerful film traces the compelling experiences of five Hungarian survivors who fell victim to Hitler's brutal war against the Jews during the final days of World War II.
Including newly-discovered historical footage and a rare interview with a former Nazi doctor at Auschwitz, the film tells the remarkable story of five people (a grandmother, a teacher, a businessman, an artist, and a United States Congressman) as they return from the United States to their hometowns and to the ghettos and concentration camps in which they were imprisoned.
