Majdanek - Cemetery of Europe

Majdanek - Cemetery of Europe 1944 Directed by Aleksander Ford Majdanek: cmentarzysko Europy

Filmed immediately after the Red Army liberated the Majdanek concentration camp, this documentary is regarded as the first cinematic record of Nazi genocide. Shot on July 24–25, 1944, it presents stark evidence of atrocities alongside testimony from surviving prisoners representing many European nations, making it one of the earliest films to confront the scale of the Holocaust.
