The Last Days

DIRECTED BY: James Moll

REVIEWED: 04-19-99

When I saw the publicity on this film, I wondered why it'd been made. There have been more than 100 films about the Holocaust, so making another one, even a documentary, seems a questionable endeavor. Then I read a letter from Bruce A. Friedemann and I realized that there were morons out there who doubted the whole thing. Maybe this painfully affecting movie will help. It follows the stories of several Holocaust survivors, including some chilling interviews with a Nazi doctor who worked at Dachau, and provides enough incontrovertible evidence (and harrowing, effective drama) to turn a few heads. Of course, Holocaust deniers don't operate on standard rules of evidence, so this is probably not for them; but it would be effective both in educating and enlightening those whose hearts and brains are still working.
