In 2005, the UN General Assembly decided to attach particular importance to January 27 announcing it International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

The choice of date is not accidental: on this day [1945гСоветские войска освободили концлагерь Освенцим, где нацистский режим зверски убил более миллиона человек, в основном евреев.

По оценкам, во время Холокоста было убито более 5 миллионов евреев, а также цыгане, поляки, гомосексуалы и политические диссиденты, и, таким образом, Третий рейх вписал одну из самых мрачных страниц в историю.

Кинематограф не мог не затронуть одно из самых знаковых исторических событий ХХ века как в художественной, так и в документальной литературе.

Итак, по случаю Международного дня памяти жертв Холокоста мы выбираем 5 раз, что седьмой арт напомнил нам, что мы не должны забывать историю:

«Шоа» (Клод Ланцманн, 1985)

The most shocking Holocaust film ever made took 11 years to make and is a nine-hour marathon that takes you back to horror places and helps survivors. No wonder many consider it “the best documentary film ever made.”

“Schindler’s List” (Steven Spielberg, 1993)

Spielberg’s Oscar-winning black-and-white epic is also the first movie that comes to most people’s minds when they hear the word “Holocaust,” a movie that turned Liam Neeson into a Nazi unlike any other, and a little girl’s red coat. left us indelible.

“Night and Darkness” (Alain Resnais, 1956)

Three years before he gave us Hiroshima, my love, Alain Resnais released this half-hour documentary about Auschwitz, just ten years after the terrible events that took place there. Even though “Night and Darkness” is only 32 minutes long, it can haunt the viewer forever.

“Life is beautiful” (Roberto Benini, 1997)

The film that won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film at the 1997 Academy Awards and made Roberto Benigni jump for joy over the seats in the ceremony room, bittersweetly tells the story of an Italian-Jewish waiter who tries to turn a tragic concentration camp experience in his little son.

The Pianist (Roman Polanski, 2002)

In this true story, shown on the big screen by Roman Polanski, Adrien Brody plays Władysław Szpilman, a Polish Jew who tries to survive by hiding in the Warsaw Ghetto during World War II.
