From the Auschwitz Chronicle – documentary film showing by Marek BUKOJEMSKI. (in English, 134 min)
There is no single universal truth about the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp. Each camp survivor has their own unquestionable truth – which may vary from the truth of their campmate from the neighboring bunk. The films contain brief testimonies of numerous eyewitnesses. As a result, the images and histories seen and told in the films contain an unusual degree of intensity and emotions.
The series consists of five parts: ‘The Longest Roll Call’, ‘The Orchestra’, ‘The Platform in Birkenau’, ‘Love’ and ‘The Sonderkommando’.
