Synopsis:
Filmed ten years after the end of World War II and the liberation of the survivors from the concentration camps, the film goes back in time, trying to understand the past and addressing the questions of forgetting and the need to remember. With narration by Michel Bouquet, the film alternates contrasting images of the present, abandoned Auschwitz and its quiet, empty buildings with documentary footage that shows the daily horrors suffered by the prisoners of the Nazi concentration camps.
