The case for the prosecution


Death Mills (1945)

Directed by Billy Wilder and Hanus Burger this is a short documentary originally for German audiences later translated into English. We see the evidence of the Holocaust that the allies discovered as WW2 came to a close.

With unsettling footage through out this film does a really good job of documenting the horrible crimes of the concentration camps. Only scratching the surface of the evil that happened there this is still an important historical record. Well made and retaining a detached attitude this is a strong watch.

4/5
