Movie Report: “Auschwitz, Death Camp” In the movie “Auschwitz, death camp”, Oprah Winfrey interviewed Holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel when they visited the Auschwitz Museum which used to be the biggest Nazi concentration and death camp. Elie talked about his personal experience at Auschwitz. He also explained more about the meaning of the Holocaust which he wrote in his book, Night. The movie started at the entrance of Auschwitz where a young Elie arrived in a cattle car with his family, friends and neighbor. He smelled the stench of burning human flesh and saw the crematorium throwing its flames into the sky and he thought “This is the end of the history, the end of Jews”. During the time at the camp, his body and his soul suffered by SS soldiers. He saw people (up to 1.5 million) including men, women and even babies were killed. Women and children including his mother and young sister were sent immediately to a gas chamber which killed them in fifteen minutes. While men starved and worked to dead. Their bodies were burn in crematorium. All memories of Auschwitz haunted him day by day. He was confused that why the Nazi did everything like that. He didn’t understand why it happened. Were they human being? And then he decided to write and to teach so that the man kind will remember and everything in Auschwitz never happened again. Throughout the movie, I felt the pains of the Jews and Elie in the death camp. The pictures of people starved to dead, the burn bodies and the personal items, everything seemed to tell me about their own stories, sad stories. There were a lot of suitcases with name on each case. The Jews left the houses with hoping a new life but they received death. How cruel it is. The room with tons of human hair stunned me. It made me realize how many people were killed. I couldn’t imagine the cruel sin like that could happen. Millions people
