Night and Fog
Made a decade after the liberation of Nazi death camps, Night And Fog combines the footage of the abandoned grounds of Auschwitz and Majdanek while detailing the lives of people held in the camps.
Switching between past and present footage, the film highlights the remains of Auschwitz while the narrator talks about the rise of Nazi ideology.
In vivid detail, the documentary addresses sadism inflicted upon prisoners, the torture, the medical experiments, executions, and prostitution.

Disgusting and sad.
Horrifying
I guess Alan Renai’s voice is missing?
I was a film student at Ball State University in the 70s. Night and Fog was part of the curriculum on film history. Our prof warned us that what we would watch was disturbing. The stuff of nightmares.
He wasn’t kidding.
40 years on, I remember the film as if it were yesterday. The image that stuck with me – and I don’t have to close my eyes to recall it, was the chamber filled nearly to the ceiling with human hair.
