I had to watch some German propaganda movies for film school. They were films like Jud Suss, Der Ewige Jude and the famous Triumph of the Will. Death Mills was included on the DVD of Jud Suss. I saw it was directed by Billy Wilders, so i couldn't hesitate to look what it was about. But maybe i shouldn't have... it is the most disturbing documentary i have ever seen (so far) in my life. It was originally made for the German people to show the horrific events in the camps. We witness everything. From storage rooms filled with sacks of hair, big boxes with golden teeth, glasses, toys and other personal belongings. We witness the gas and torture chambers, 'nursing' rooms and the places where people slept. This is mixed up with big piles of death people. Spread along the many camps. (we see them all) Some still with horrible, just horrible expressions on their faces. Of course there were also some survivors. The only thing they could show is a very very traumatized look.
Above is what i saw in the documentary. And i must say i still feel like **** Let's hope none of this will ever happen in Europe again. And i hope the rest of the world will follow that advice. Avoid at all cost when you have a weak stomach. But props to Billy Wilder for showing this to the world.
