The Last Days is an award winning documentary about five Hungarian Jews who survived the holocaust. The movie is a narration of the experiences of the holocaust survivors at the Nazi Concentration camps. This documentary has won an Oscar for the best documentary feature.
The film is a painful and distressing watch as it acquaints us with one of the worst chapters in history that tells us about the inhuman treatment meted out to the Jews at the concentration camps. Though I have read about it and watched a few movies about this, it is difficult to believe that humans can actually be so inhuman to do such atrocities on fellow humans!
It is impossible to watch the holocaust survivors narrate their experiences without having a lump in your throats and tears in your eyes. It is so painful to listen to them, imagine how it was for them to relive those painful memories. Our heart weeps for them and their loved ones whom they lost to war.
It's a shame that even after so many chapters in history like these, that tell us about the futility of hatred, war and terror, we still have not learnt our lessons. There is still so much hate all around the world for power and supremacy.
This is a heart breaking movie that needs to be watched. These stories make us more humane and we learn about what the holocaust survivors have gone through. It is not a closed chapter for them as they have the memories of those dark chapters of their lives. I really wish and pray for peace in this world.
