A great movie and ofc, it will win Academy Awards because it is a Holocaust movie.
The fictional German war criminal Dieter Vogel is called “the surgeon of Birkenau” in the film, but in my mind there are many indications that his character is based on the real life Dr. Josef Mengele.
A memorable line in the movie is:
Why did you think it was so easy to exterminate your people (n.n. jews)? Youre weakness. I saw it. Everyday I saw it. Everyone of them thinking only of how to avoid being flogged or kicked or killed. Everyone thinking only of themselves. Why do you think it only took four soldiers to lead a thousand people to the gas chambers? Because not one out of thousands had the courage to resist. Not one would sacrifice himself! Not even when we took theire children away! So I knew then, that you people had no right to live! You had no right…
