Claude Lanzmann directed this 9 1/2 hour documentary of the Holocaust
without using a single frame of archive footage. He interviews survivors,
witnesses, and ex-Nazis (whom he had to film secretly since though only
agreed to be interviewed by audio). His style of interviewing by asking for the
most minute details is effective at adding up these details to give a horrifying
portrait of the events of Nazi genocide. He also shows, or rather lets some of
his subjects themselves show, that the anti-Semitism that caused 6 million
Jews to die in the Holocaust is still alive in well in many people that still live
in Germany, Poland, and elsewhere
