The nudity in this film is not sexual. The nude scenes are disturbing rather than titillating.

There is one brief sex scene between Oskar and his soon to be wife. The two are seen from the waist up in bed, groping and moving explicitly. Oskar's butt is shown and his wife's breast is also shown but it's too dark to see clearly

The concentration camp prisoners are forced to strip down to the nude so Nazi doctors can examine their health. We see full frontal nudity, both male and female.

Amon's wife is seen lying in bed topless, and we see her breasts for a few seconds. The scene is not sexual.

Amon approaches a female attendant in a dark cellar and circles her, lightly touching her and speaking softly to her. She is in an undershirt of sorts, her breasts can be seen partially through the wet and clinging fabric. Although Amon's intentions supposedly is to rape her, he strikes her and hurts her, but then leaves.

A group of women admitted to Auschwitz are stripped naked and forced into a shower room (believed to be a gas chamber). We see their backsides several times, and silhouette side views of their breasts and full frontal nudity.

Oskar was known as a womanizer, and he flirts with many women, even though married.

A man with only one arm struggles to dig a hole. Two Nazi members shoot him, blood is seen pooling around him on the ground.

A woman is shot through the back of the head, from a fair distance. You can see a small bullet wound hole, with blood briefly spurting out and pouring on the floor. Very graphic.

A man is pulled away from the other Jews leaving their homes, and is shot in the back of the head, the top of his head explodes and tears open, blood pools and spurts from around him. Very graphic

A man with an ill wife tries to tell a Nazi about her condition. Instead, she is shot in the head and killed. Blood splatters on the man's face from the shot, and spurts from the wife's head graphically.

A group of people hiding in a bedroom are shot (including women and children), one by one. The shots are offscreen, as a German Nazi official plays a cheery tune on the piano.

One scene is quite violent as Amon wakes up and disturbingly starts executing random Jews for no reason through a window with a sniper rifle.

A pile of bloody bodies is seen outside a building.

A large group of hospital patients are shockingly executed by Nazis with machine guns. The nurses give off cyanide to patients so they don't die from being shot..

An extremely large group of kids and women are put into one room where they are all shot to death by two Nazis with machine guns.

A solder shoots a little boy in the chest while two other solders hold the boy up.

9 uses of "fuck", along with "bitch", "damn", "ass", and many other profanities. The German accents often make the profanity difficult to understand.

Several characters are seen drinking alcoholic beverages. One character is seen drunk in many scenes. Smoking is almost constantly seen.

A long trail of people are seen being led into a building by Nazi officers. They believe that they are being led to place to stay for warmth, and one very young girl looks very cheery at a Nazi officer who smiles at her and laughs with her. A woman leaving the camp looks at the chimney of the building, which is smoking heavily, and realizes it is an execution chamber where the Jews will be burned.

The film presents a horrific, stomach-wrenching depiction of the Holocaust: many, many people are seen being killed in one form or another. They are shot at point blank range, children are slaughtered, many more are killed in gas chambers. It is very, very disturbing because it is not only graphic, but also very realistic.

This film is not recommended for children. It is not appropriate for those 12 and under, somewhat iffy for those aged between 13 and 15 (this film is shown in some high school history classes), and okay for those 16 and up.
