After Auschwitz (2017) User Reviews

An extremely moving look at the lives of Holocaust survivors

[dogstar90291 · 10/10 · 15 January 2019]

After Auschwitz is an outstanding look at what happened after the Holocaust for 6 women who survived it. The immediate aftermath is shocking, but watching these women set out to rebuild their lives is a fascinating experience. It's an inspiring look at dealing with horror, but more than that, it's about strength. This is an element of the Holocaust that hasn't been explored much on film, and in this day and age, these stories remain incredibly relevant.

Great Documentary

Amazing story about what it means to "go home," after war. This documentary follows the lives of six extraordinary women and what it meant for them to be liberated from Auschwitz. Traditionally we celebrate liberation as a victory, but this film makes you think about what that liberation meant to women who had no money, no homes and few or no relatives to go home to after having just survived the trauma of Auschwitz. As much about the Holocaust as it is about the challenges of returning to society from war and severe trauma, this movie is very timely as we welcome back veterans from the Gulf War. A must see movie.
