Even more important in a time when false equivalencies are being made - no putting on a mask is not the same as being labelled a Jew in Nazin Germany. But let's not give this crazy thought process some are making any more food. This is about survivors! Those who made it out alive, even though they were in concentration camps.

The documentary is giving voice to those who survived, but also to "doctors" from back then. We have to take the word that the one on display here, was trying to save as many as he could. Of course as this shows not everyone was a mad monster, but there were more than enough. And as we know too, the silence of the "good ones" is as toxic and bad as those who do the mad things! This can be eye opening, if you haven't seen similar stuff already. Be it another documentary or a "fictional" film like Schindlers List.

Hearing the accounts of people who lived through such an attrocity ... it should be made mandatory especially in areas where antisemitism or racism in general is high ... don't let people objectify other people. That is how it begins - and once it gets hold of your brain, of your beliefs it is way harder to shake! No one deserves to be treated this way ...
