The Last Days

The Last Days features the testimonies of five Jewish Hungarians, all of whom are now US citizens. They share their harrowing stories from before March 1944, when the Nazis began their systematic extermination of Hungarian Jews. This documentary also includes the experiences of a Sonderkommando and a doctor who conducted experiments on Auschwitz prisoners, alongside US soldiers who participated in the liberation of the concentration camps in April 1945.

Directed by James Moll, the film runs for 87 minutes and delves into themes of memory and survival. The documentary presents a unique opportunity to hear firsthand accounts from those who lived through these historical events, making it an important piece for anyone interested in the Holocaust and its lasting impact on individuals and communities. The film captures the emotional weight of memory, as the subjects revisit their childhood homes more than five decades after their traumatic experiences.
