07/06/2020 We've seen many of those movies. This one is well done by the Wilsmaier - Vavrova team on a book-script by Polish-born film producer Artur (Abraham) Brauner writing as 'Art Bernd'. It has necessarily all the documentary value that we now associate with the godawful transportation of people to death camps because they're Jews, and viewed by the nazi ideology as vermin and vampîres sucking the healthy blood of Aryan Germans. Of course the beautiful face of a little girl in the movie is ample proof if need be that this vision is absurd. Her facing a Totenkopf SS with an angelic face and the darkest possible mindset is one of the intense moments of the movie. Otherwise what should we judge? Cinematic quality is good, although never surprising (including the last scene, with the trees going around and changing for the monument to the Shoah in Berlin), acting good, script not overly surprising - what can people do while in a boxcar for a few days, if not reminisce about the past, cry, scream for water, die, sing...? I guess the fact that a few escape - and meet nice Polìsh helpers, a little too nice and prectctable maybe -since they seem to be able to come back time and time again to the last train stop before Auschwitz - has deprived the crazy Fûhrer of perfect joy for his birthday, and hope the kissass bureaucrats who dealth with human beings like pigs will linger in Hell now for a long, long time. If you only saw this film about the Shoan maybe you'll find it thrilling. If you've seen a few, or many, you'll find it...OK. And you'll feel guilty because you should never get bored looking at this. See more 09/16/2017 The depiction is truly very detailed and horrific. I think it should get equal merit like Schindler's List & The Pianist. There are numerous movies on the Holocaust but very little that captures the truly traumatizing details of the event and this only surely gives the true nature of one of the most brutal moments of the Holocaust Period.

See more 05/12/2013 movies like this one is sometimes hard to see but needs to be seen. It is a German movie with captions. It is a sad movie. the last train to the death camp. hundreds of people cramped in cattle carts. escapes are tired and fail. men, women and children died.
