- The "special commandos" were Jewish prisoners who were forced to operate the crematoria of the annihilation camps such as KZ Birkenau. The oral testimonies of very rare survivors and eyewitnesses, and readings from manuscripts, written and hidden by these Sonderkommandos before they were all killed and cremated, evoke in this movie the horrors of Nazi barbarity.
- In KZ Auschwitz, infamous Nazi doctors as Mengele and Schumann performed horrible and mostly fatal experiments "in vivo" on thousands of deportees, women, men and children, in order to find ways of fast and massive sterilization of "inferior races", and methods to promote the fertility of the German "Herrenvolk". This documentary, the last in Weiss' trilogy 'Hourban' (i.e. Destruction), filmed amidst the ruins of Auschwitz, is based on testimonies of witnesses, mostly deported (Jewish) doctors, to the War Crimes Tribunal of Nürnberg in 1946.
- In this moving documentary, five testimonies of French survivors of the horrors of Auschwitz which were published just after the war, are cited by voice-over, while the camera moves around the remnants of the Auschwitz camps.
- With his fiery spirit, his emphatic gestures and his legendary cigar, American filmmaker Samuel Fuller revisits his life, his career and his films in this DVD interview, as he also helps us understand his uncompromising filming techniques.
- In july 1936, the civil war began in Spain, and it would last three years. Since then, it has constantly been a subject for fascination and controversy. What could have pushed leftists from all over the world to fight for a cause that their governments rejected? Why did young men leave their work, their family and their country, so they could join a fight that was somehow a rehearsal for World War II? Nearly 40.000 people enlisted to defend their ideals on a foreign territory. Chronicles Of Hope doesn't intend to describe the events of the civil war in a one-tracked political mould; the human dimension is here the center of interest.
