Shoah (Criterion Collection)

Director Claude Lanzmann's epic Holocaust documentary eschews previously seen film footage for interviews with death camp survivors, workers, and former Nazi officials, all witnesses to the horror, contrasted with glimpses of the surviving camps today. "Shoah" (Hebrew for "annihilation") is a remarkable, insightful look at the unthinkable and unforgettable. 9 1/4 hrs. on four discs. Standard; Soundtrack: English, French, German, Italian, Hebrew, and Polish PCM mono; featurettes; interviews; bonus films "A Visitor from the Living" (1999), "Sobibor, October 14, 1943, 4 pm" (2001), "The Karski Report" (2010); theatrical trailer.
