Hungarian survivors of the Holocaust recount their experiences during the final months of WWII. They describe in vivid detail how their families were torn apart and sent to concentration camps in Poland. Old documentary footage is also incorporated. Later, they travel in modern times to their old home towns in Hungary and the concentration camps. An incredibly moving and emotional film, with some of the most horrifying imagery I can remember from the concentration camps. Executive producer Steven Spielberg states in the introduction that he considers his work with the Shoah Foundation the most important of his life.
