This film affected me like no film ever has ever done, or is likely to do in the future. It is not a glitzy Hollywood production and is all the more effective as a result. I have seen accounts in print and on the internet detailing the true events at Sobibor and this film is a factual account with very few details changed. Sobibor was a stinking hell-hole and this comes across very well in the film.This film should be compulsory viewing in all schools to warn against the evils of racism. When the prisoners finally get the upper hand and start killing the Nazi SS pigs I found myself cheering at the top of my voice. I first saw this film in the 80's on October the 14th the day the breakout occurred, which also happens to be my birthday and maybe because of that I feel very involved with the story, also because my family is partly Jewish. I have seen it many times since and it never loses it's impact.
