Краткое содержание
В Европу из-за океана на роскошном лайнере возвращается миловидная элегантная женщина - немка Лиза, в сопровождении своего респектабельного мужа. Оба они наслаждаются путешествием в ожидании новых прекрасных впечатлений. Внезапно взгляд Лизы обращается к трапу, по которому поднимается высокая стройная женщина. В глазах Лизы появляется сначала смятение, затем испуг... Лиза пытается объяснить мужу свое смятение, начинает осторожно рассказывать мужу о своем прошлом. И вот безоблачное ранее путешествие превращается для Лизы в восхождение на Голгофу, она уже не может вырваться из клещей воспоминаний. Перед женщиной встает картина военного времени, тех лет, когда она служила надзирателем в Освенциме и была фанатично предана фюреру. Именно там, в лагере, Лиза встретилась с польской девушкой Мартой... Но может ли Лиза рассказать обо всем, ведь это будет признанием, которое ее уничтожит...
Natan tells the remarkable story of Bernard Natan, a Romanian immigrant who came to Paris in 1905 and was involved almost immediately with French cinema. He took control of the Pathe film group in the late 1920s and went on to produce epic films such as Les Miserables. But Natan has become largely written out of French film history for various different reasons. I will not go into details here as the story is an excellent one, suffice to say that his ethnicity and subsequent rumours plagued Natan almost from the start of his career. His ‘comeuppance’ for his alleged transgressions is at the heart of this devastating documentary.
1975 год. Клод Ланцманн снимает в Риме фильм о Беньямине Мурмельштейне, последнем председателе Еврейского Совета гетто Терезиенштадт, единственном «еврейском старейшине», не погибшем на войне. После аннексии Австрии Германией в 1938 г. Мурмельштейн, бывший венский раввин, неделю за неделей, в течение семи лет ведет борьбу с Эйхманом. Ему удалось добиться разрешения на отъезд 121 000 евреев и избежать ликвидации гетто. В 2012 г. 87-летний Клод Ланцманн не прячет признаков разрушительного действия времени на людей и остается верен своей теме, вновь возвращаясь к римским беседам. Картина повествует о Терезиенштадте — городе, «подаренном Гитлером евреям», насквозь фальшивом «образцовом гетто», выбранном Адольфом Эйхманом для предъявления мировой общественности.
Ever Again examines the sweeping resurgence of antisemitism in 21st century Europe and its connection to global terrorism.
Фильм описывает в биографических эпизодах жизнь коменданта концлагеря «Освенцим-Биркенау» - Франца Ланга. Он основан на жизни настоящего коменданта - Рудольфа Хёсса. От Первой мировой войны до его тюремного заключения и казни через повешение в Польше после окончания Второй мировой войны. Человек, который был обучен выполнять приказы без возражений, он контролировал массовое уничтожение евреев. Показ нацистских методов расправы над людьми, о которых рассказывает фильм, не оставляет зрителя равнодушным.
A stunningly-crafted documentary that brings to life German-Jewish artist Charlotte Salomon in all her yearning for love and creative expression, her struggle to come to terms with her family history, and whose passion for beauty came face-to-face with the harsh reality of 1940s Europe. The title of this film comes from her remarkable 700-page painted life story in which she asks, “Where does life stop and art begin?” Director Franz Weisz masterfully weaves together interviews with people who knew her, family photographs, excerpts from a 1980 biopic, images of Charlotte’s vibrant paintings and a previously-unknown letter containing a shocking revelation.
This documentary re-creates the momentous Frankfurt trial. Rolf Bickel and Dietrich Wagner build the film around taped testimony from more than 200 Auschwitz survivors.

Oscar winning postwar propaganda film in support of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration. Strident but poignant, focusing on children.

Originally made with a German soundtrack for screening in occupied Germany and Austria, this film was the first documentary to show what the Allies found when they liberated the Nazi extermination camps: the survivors, the conditions, and the evidence of mass murder. The film includes accounts of the economic aspects of the camps' operation, the interrogation of captured camp personnel, and the enforced visits of the inhabitants of neighboring towns, who, along with the rest of their compatriots, are blamed for complicity in the Nazi crimes - one of the few such condemnations in the Allied war records.
