This impressively sober, thoughtful documentary serves as a contextualising companion piece, juxtaposing horrifying raw footage with interviews with those who first viewed these appalling, devastating images.

Helt forfærdeligt at se, hvordan det var.  Man ser alt så det er ikke for sarte sjæle og børn.

What is Night Will Fall about? Toggle content

Night Will Fall is a documentary that explores the power of film in documenting warfare, specifically the liberation of Nazi concentration camps during World War II. The film draws from historic footage of the 1945 British documentary German Concentration Camps Factual Survey, which was shelved for political reasons, and features interviews with survivors and liberators. The film delves into the production of the 1945 documentary, including the involvement of famed director Alfred Hitchcock, and examines why the film was never released. The documentary also includes footage of the liberation of Bergen-Belsen, Auschwitz, and Majdanek concentration camps, as well as interviews with survivors such as Anita Lasker-Wallfisch and Eva Mozes Kor. Through these testimonies and archival footage, Night Will Fall sheds light on one of the most horrific events in human history and highlights the importance of preserving memory and bearing witness to atrocities.
