This is fantastic, and something i have been waiting for for a long time. Now, it is finally here. The DVD release is something i watch once a year, along with Schindler's List. Stuff like this should be mandatory digest in schools across the globe, for i firmly believe people are starting to forget about what happened back then. Granted, no one wants to truly remember it, but it should be remembered, and we should teach our kids about it.

Growing up in Europe, and having grand parents who dealt with all of this, i quite simply can't forget.

EDIT/ - Pre-Order is up at Amazon.

I'm complaining about movies that are 3 hours long and use that as an excuse for never getting around watching it.

Don't know what to say here lol.

But this is a documentary with interviews and recordings (he wasn't allowed to record the people he interviewed, some of them were ex-nazis). So it's not really a "movie"
