War and Remembrance - "Selection" Scene at Auschwitz-Birkenau

One of the first films to be filmed on location in Birkenau. The opening scene of the train approaching Birkenau is exactly the view we got when we marched with "March of the Living 2011" on May 2, 2011.
Branko Lustig, the creator of the series, was one of the speakers this year, and, at 80 years old, he had his Bar Mitzvah in front of the block in Auschwitz where he was a prisoner. Survivors who have seen this scene say it was eerily close to how "selection" really worked at Birkenau. One flick of the thumb determined whether the person would be dead within the hour or live to see another day.
The scene following this one shows the gas chambers and crematorium - this is a MUST SEE series (available on Netflix).

    Two survivors of Auschwitz had a bakery in my town. They rarely said anything about that time, but when I expressed my horror (and my fear it could happen again), the wife, Helga, said, “always remember…a human being can get used to anything, whether it is watching their homeland become a Nazi wasteland, or watching human beings turn each other into ash.” Wasn’t true for her…two weeks after her husband died of a heart attack, she committed suicide. He had saved her in the camp by smuggling her bites of food (he worked outside the gates)…and she didn’t want to go on without him. I will always feel like she was one of the last of Hitler’s victims…she never got over finding out her entire family was gone after the war, and she didn’t want to be left behind without her beloved husband, without anyone. RIP, Ari and Helga. Be at peace….

    He spoke at my school to a very small group and my bf and I got tickets.

So to hear him speak and see him in a small room afterwards for tea etc., was truly an indescribable experience. It was like I was shaking hands with a part of history. RIParadise Mr. Wiesel

    You can say a lot about Elie Wiesel, but he was not a moral philosopher. Of course nobody have killed anybody by just forgetting about them. What an absurd phrase to come up with! Elie Wiesel would have counted as a serial killer himself, as often as he probably forgot about people.

    Can there ever be forgiveness for this level of cruelty and inhumanity? If God had been willing to give us one more chance after this what must he think of the hundreds of thousands of people worldwide continuing to harbor sympathies for Hitler and Nahtzees. Wretched people living among us promoting the exact same nationalistic ideology and racial intolerance that made the Holocaust possible. And Americans watch as the exact same evil grows right under our noses. We watch as millions entertain a willingness to install a despotic demagogue that would replace democracy with a fascist regime that would resurrect the 3rd Reich right here in the US. Perhaps it's best to imagine that there is no God for I cannot imagine him forgiving people willing to allow this to happen again. "...First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me..." - Martin Niemoller

    The Russian soldiers who liberated the camps had seen worse, and ironically, those who had been prisoners, and who had seen life in the west, were themselves sent to the Gulag, the Soviet camps, which were just as bad. The Nazis and the Soviets were like two great beasts who had fought and while the Soviet won, he was gravely wounded and finally died in 1992.

I feel actual anxiety and pain in my body as I study and learn more and more about what happened. I feel shame and disgust with humanity alongside deep grief. I think about each individual person that experienced horrific brutality and felt alone and forsaken in their sufferings. My heart is broken for them. I am baffled and bewildered by what the planners and perpetrators of the Holocaust allowed themselves to do to others...to just one individual, let alone millions. I cannot conceive of this kind of hatred toward my fellow man. My own people have been and continue to be horribly discriminated against and wronged, yet I would never support such evil against another human being. ...no, not even an enemy.

    rayman 760, there are no easy answers to your comment because there are many facets to the Holocaust. Some were brainwashed into doing it after years of indoctrination by Hitler and the Nazis. Some did it because it was their job but that didn't mean they liked what they did. However, the majority of them did it because it gave them a power trip and of course, they, like Joseph Mengle were virulent anti-Semintists.

Such laws are absurd because those societies claim to be free but then use repression on such a small minority for disagreeing or spreading hate.

Start with “Winds of War” as it begins as Hitler lays out his plans to invade Poland, and runs through the attack on Pearl Harbor. “War and Remembrance,” with the same characters, even though some of the actors were recast, picks up immediately after that and runs through the end of the war. It’s all one long piece, divided into two series. But Winds of War and then War and Remembrance is the correct order.

    After the abolition of slavery in the United States in 1865, the so-called Jim Crow Laws established the separation between African Americans and whites and lasted until the 1960s. until 1950 there were lynchings of black citizens in the United States of America. There is a picture on the internet of a black one hanging from a tree in America. The situation was so grotesque that white German POWs in the US were held above black citizens. To maintain racial segregation during World War II, there were separate formations (including the 93rd Infantry Division) and units such as the 761st Tank Battalion, 758th Tank Battalion, 784th Tank Battalion, and the Tuskegee Airmen that served almost exclusively African Americans.

Both were based on books by a man named Herman Wouk. Amazing series - both of them.

He survived the death March in 1945. I grew up with his two sons in New York. One of the stories he told of the Germans was that the gas chambers were getting so overloaded with prisoners every day ( trains came in every half hour) that the Germans had the prisoners dig giant pits to burn the bodies. Anton mentioned that one Christmas the German guards got trucks full of babies and children and were throwing children and babies LIVE by the children’s legs and hair into one of these burning pits while the Germans were singing a German. Christmas song Oh Tannenaum! I have been to Auschwitz and you can still see these pits in the back of the camp ( covered with grass) My mothers family from Vienna had 24 members killed the youngest being 3. My father and his friend Anton hated the Germans for the rest of their lives,I can’t blame them.

    The original Holocaust movie is a 1948 Polish feature film called "The Last Stage" by Wanda Jakubowska who was a political prisoner at Auschwitz. The copywriter and set designer were also interred there. It looks realistic because it was filmed on location at Auschwitz only 2 years after liberation using actual prison clothes and SS uniforms. Several of the actors and actresses were former inmates, especiallythe ones playing Kapos and Block Elders. Soviet soldiers and German POWs are also used as extras. It won a BAFTA in 1950.

    The section of War and Remembrance about the transport and selection/gassing at Auschwitz was extremely powerful. Everyone should watch it. Particularly now that there are massive crowds marching through the streets of many western capitols chanting from the 'river to the sea' meaning the end of the Jewish state. People are simply ignorant of history. By the way the two books by Herman Wouk, Winds of War and War and Remembrance from which the series are taken are absolutely some of the best works of fiction about WW2. If you haven't read them, do yourself a favor and do so. They are compelling in every way.

    The original Holocaust movie is a 1948 Polish feature film called "The Last Stage" by Wanda Jakubowska who was a political prisoner at Auschwitz. The co-writer and set designer were also interred there. It looks realistic because it was filmed on location at Auschwitz only 2 years after liberation using actual prison clothes and SS uniforms. Several of the actors and actresses were former inmates, especially the ones playing Kapos and Block Elders. Soviet soldiers and German POWs are also used as extras. It won a BAFTA in 1950.

Either beat them up, or increased the persecution of the Jews. I can't recall. Whatever it was, the Dutch train drivers had to keep doing the deportations. The German's were utterly ruthless in punishing any resistance to the holocaust by non-Jews in the occupied countries. One has to feel for them as well, as they watched helplessly.

    If he refused to drive the train someone else would and he would have been taken and put in a camp suffering the same fate along with his family. In Nazi Germany if you wanted to live or more importantly did not want your family to suffer the consequences of your refusal, you did what you were told. Parents lived in fear for and of their own children who were indoctrinated in National Socialism who encouraged them to 'inform' on their parents. Such was the strangle hold this regime had over its people that failure to comply was equivalent to death sentence. Yet despite this there was a resistance movement in Germany operating throughout the war.

    Where can u find this film? I watched part two of the auschwitz scene in the has chambers and couldn't even look at the computer screen. It was terribly real. Instead of reading about it u see it and that is really hard to stomach

    Every account of arrivals I ever heard about in school was that they always tricked them into believing they were just being given a shower before moving on . If they were treated this way on arrival wouldn’t that be a bit telling of where you really were.

    Yes, they were told to hang up their clothes and remember where they were and even given soap and a towel. I don't know if this happened in every camp but probably close. They didn't want a mass stampede. They also didn't want anyone outside the camps to know but many caught on.

    I couldn't watch scenes like this. It was too traumatic. This Scene, Schindler's List and Escape From Sobibor were the heaviest Movies about The Concentration Camps. My Father (RIP) saw Schindler's List when it was on PBS TV and his jaw dropped.

    The original Holocaust movie is a 1948 Polish feature film called "The Last Stage" by Wanda Jakubowska who was a political prisoner at Auschwitz. The co-writer and set designer were also interred there. It looks realistic because it was filmed on location at Auschwitz only 2 years after liberation using actual prison clothes and SS uniforms. Several of the actors and actresses were former inmates, especially the ones playing Kapos and Block Elders. Soviet soldiers and German POWs are also used as extras. It won a BAFTA in 1950.
