Shoah, Part One*

• 1985 ----- color ----- 118 min ----- vhs
• Shoah ("annihilation" in Hebrew) is one of the most important, affecting, talked-about films of the decade. It is Claude Lanzmann's monumental epic on the Holocaust. Brings light to the horrendous events that took place in the state-sponsored extermination campus during World War II. As witnesses retrace steps into their past, the horrors of events resurface into the present-day. Through the eyes of survivors and camp works, viewers gain personal accounts of massacres and ordered deaths of the Jewish people throughout Europe.
