MAJDANEK - EUROPE'S CEMETARY

Majdanek - cmentarzysko Europy

Directed by Aleksander Ford
Poland, 1945
Documentary, Short

Synopsis

A documentary record shot on the 24th and 25th July 1944 of the concentration camp in Majdanek. Comparable to Resnais’ Nuit et bruillard, it’s filled with images of such staggering awfulness that they take on an almost abstract quality – one might regard the images of mountains of shoes, spectacles.
