Sobibor

Claude Lanzmann interviews Sobibor revolt participant and survivor Yehuda Lerner in a style reminiscent of his magnum opus "Shoah". Lanzmann originally met Lerner while working on "Shoah", and decided to dedicate an entire film to the story of the revolt as told by Lerner. As in "Shoah", no archival materials are used, and Lerner's testimony determines both form and content. At the end of the film, Lanzmann's voice is heard reading lists of the names of all of those deported to Sobibor, with the lists on screen. The result is chilling.
