My personal eye-opener with regard to knowledge of WWII and the Holocaust is the monumental series The World at War, which was published in the mid-1970s. was shown on Dutch television.

The gruesome images Resnais came up with twenty years earlier were, as far as I remember, at least partly seen in that documentary, but Nuit et Brouillard will of course forever remain a crushing piece of work.

That is of course due to the footage, the chilling images, and undoubtedly this hit like a bomb in 1955.

That said, as a 21st century viewer I'm not very enthusiastic about the voice over, and I don't understand the obtrusive, nothing to do music under such images at all.

Nevertheless, still an essential film.

Strong documentary about the Holocaust with horrific images. Clenched documentary of only a good half hour. Not much news I guess. Most of the images have already been seen in one or the other documentary. Nevertheless, impressive. Especially those hairs and those bulldozers continue to leave a deep impression.

Mandatory school material? Yes, but of course brought with the necessary interpretation. This is not something typically German or something that can only be attributed to them alone. However, the manner in which and the scope is something that has never come close to other genocides.

Nuit et brouillard or Nacht Und Nebel, referring to the transported prisoner from whom no one heard anything ... The last survivors are slowly breathing their last. Hopefully present and future generations will continue to pass this on with dignity.

After Resnais' film, of course, many documentaries and even fiction films have been made about the horror of the concentration camps during World War II.

Admittedly, however, that this Resnais film has made the most impression with unbearable scenes that really make you want to stop watching.

Seeing the dumping of human remains and thinking that they were once living beings with ambitions and desires and pursuing a happy life is indeed something that completely overwhelms and confuses you.

How was all this possible and is man still ripe for such extremes?
