After Auschwitz 2017

     This film follows six women after the Holocaust.  The Jewish people housed in the concentration camp at Auschwitz are told, “You’re free. Go home.”  They were being liberated because Germany is defeated in WWII but what do they do now?  Their bodies are so emaciated that they can barely hold down any nourishment.  Their properties have been destroyed and their relatives are all dead.  What is there to go back to?

     This movie is good and very interesting.  There is so much heartbreak for the people who have managed to survive being in this concentration camp.  Another important point is that this was not the only camp for Jewish people.  There are 68 camps listed on Wikipedia!!  This list doesn’t include the Ghettos in German-occupied Europe and they are on a different list.  The people who lived in these camps never forget their experiences and they also never forget the family members they lost.  4 ½* (I really liked this movie)
