I actually only give the film three stars because, firstly, you can expect something better from Uwe Boll and, secondly, the implementation was so bad and wrong that it almost hurts. Uwe Boll Just out of respect for the atrocities and the unspeakable horrors which the victims were subject to, could have made a lot more effort to make a good film out of it. Uwe has already proven several times that he can do this and that he has produced excellent films with even low financial resources. I am a little disappointed with the performance of this film; this topic in particular would have been so important!
Whatever is easily forgotten, I think it's very good to point out the horrors of the Holocaust in such a way that it is never forgotten, but you have to point out one important fact very clearly ...
... in Germany, the investigation of what is actually true or untrue is forbidden by law - if you want to conduct investigations or you only describe the slightest doubts about the processes, you make yourself a criminal offense in Germany as a "Holocaust denier" - the law protects the survivors of the Holocaust who have already suffered enough.
So this is one of the few cases in the history of mankind where one believes the survivors of this horror every single of their reports even without judicial examination because we do not want to expect only a tiny bit pain more from these people and I can understand it. Of course, it then keeps people from ever clearing up all the fog around this event and of course the documentations only describe what was told and accepted - whether the whole and unequivocal truth about everything was clarified or not, everyone has to decide it for himself and should keep silence about it. Doubts about it may be justified, who knows, but the fact is - these victims have already suffered so much that doubts would just increase the pain and these people have endured enough!
Personally, I have no doubt in the slightest that these atrocities and the Holocaust took place and I hope that something like this will never happen again after 80-120 million native Americans were assassinated in the American Holocaust, the Turkish Holocaust of the Armenians and the German Holocaust with 6 million victims! There was finally enough slaughter of people and it should never ever happen again.
I close this review with deep respect and memory of the victims of these atrocities.
Kind regards,
Andy.
