Product Description

The winner of the 1998 Academy Award for Best Documentary, this powerful film traces the compelling experiences of five Hungarian Holocaust 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 U.S. Congressman - as they return from the United States to their hometowns and to the ghettos and concentration camps in which they were imprisoned.Through the eyes of the survivors and other witnesses, The Last Days recounts one of the most brutal chapters of this dark period in human history, when families were taken from their homes, stripped of their dignity, deported to concentration camps and ultimately murdered. Above all, The Last Days is a potent depiction of personal strength and courage, and a testament to the power of the human spirit.

I watch this movie every year on the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz!
This is an excellent, award winning documentary. I saw it on HBO about 20 years ago and bought a copy. It interviews five Holocausts survivors and a former Nazi doctor who were at the camp and follows their experience as they visit the site of the camp decades later. One survivor became a CA Congressman. There are also testimonials from solders who liberated the camp. Heartbreaking and poignant. I highly recommend it.

    This is a true story about a Hungarian gynecologist, Dr. Gisella Pert, who survived the horrors of a Holocaust Prison Camp. She eventually immigrated to the U.S. and wanted to continue her practice as a doctor. In order to do that, she had to appear before a board of physicians and answer difficult questions about her past camp experiences and convince the board members that she wasn't a Nazi criminal. During the movie, Dr. Pert describes the difficult choices she had to make while serving under a savage Nazi Ob-Gyn physician, who conducted inhumane experiments and C-section deliveries on women without using anesthesia. The movie didn't try to glorify the gory events to evoke an emotional response from viewers. Instead, it portrayed the ethical and moral struggles of a caring young doctor while she provided gynecological services in the camp, and her sincere quest to promote life among Jewish mothers afterwards. Her story touches the hearts of its viewers and also serves as a powerful testimony of the evil that lurked in the camp medical wards. The movie is extraordinary- a must see.

    Hungary was the last country in Eastern Europe to be cleansed of Jews, in 1944. One of many things that was so sad was how neighbors who you knew for years, went to school with, dated, shared meals with ,lined up along the roads jeering and yelling as you walked past on your way ultimately to the cattle trains to Auschwitz. How could they do this? Maybe vaccinated people today may want to examine similar attitudes to the unvaccinated. History may not repeat itself but it rhymes.

    It is amazing who they got together to be in this Doc. 5 former prisoners of the Germans in WW II who were at the worst of the prison camps. Another person was a Sonderkommando who is a jewish person who worked at the gas chambers clearing out the dead. Another person was a doctor who did experiments on Jews in the camps. A pretty amazing documentary as each of these people tells a portion of their story. The film is put together in an interesting way that tells the story through the words of these folks.

    this was heart rendering to watch yet I believe everyone should see this to make sure that this will never happen again.
    My heart went out to the survivors it is so long ago and yet so raw to their memories.
    A similar thing is happening once again somewhere else in this world it shows that nothing really has been learned by those atrocities
    will we ever learn ???
