From case cover:
Ten years after the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps, filmmaker Alain Resnais documented the abandoned grounds of Auschwitz and Majdanek in "Night and Fog" ("Nuit et brouillard"), one of the first cinematic reflections on the Holocaust. Juxtaposing the stillness of the abandoned camps' empty buildings with haunting wartime footage, Resnais investigates humanity's capacity for violence, and presents the devestating suggestion that such horrors could coccur again.
