Overview

Five Jewish Hungarians, now US citizens, tell their stories: before March 1944, when Nazis began to exterminate Hungarian Jews, months in concentration camps, and visiting childhood homes more than 50 years later. An historian, a Sonderkommando, a doctor who experimented on Auschwitz prisoners, and US soldiers who were part of the liberation in April 1945.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

Survivors and witnesses speak directly to camera about the Holocaust's devastation and their path to rebuilding lives in America, moving between testimony and haunting return visits to the places they once called home. It's a profound exercise in bearing witness, structured around voice and presence rather than archival spectacle.
