Alain Resnais' 1955 documentary is an early depiction of the Holocaust. From concentration camp construction to mass roundups, the film reveals the brutal journey, starting with Nazi ascendancy in 1933. Europeans are transported in cattle cars, facing forced labor or execution. By 1942, the Nazis' "final solution" is in play. Though the camps are mostly gone, the memory persists.
