Claude Lanzmann a retrouvé des rescapés juifs des camps d’extermination. Il a traqué les nazis qui se cachaient et réussi à les filmer clandestinement. Il est retourné sur les lieux, dans les villages limitrophes de Chelmno, Ponari, Treblinka, Sobibor, Auschwitz, pour interroger les témoins polonais. Ni fiction – tous les protagonistes ont été en contact direct avec les camps –, ni documentaire – il ne s’agit pas d’une compilation de souvenirs –, Shoah est avant tout un film de la mémoire qui abolit la distance entre le passé et le présent. Sans recourir aux documents d’archives – il n’y a pas un cadavre dans cette œuvre pétrie de mort – ni aux “images chocs”, Shoah (“anéantissement”, “destruction”, en hébreu) démonte les rouages de la “solution finale”. “Nous avons lu, après la guerre, quantité de témoignages sur les ghettos, sur les camps d’extermination.

    I applaud this in depth, multi-sided account. Could be 6 hours with edit that cut translation time, long landscape shots & added visual aid.

    While “Shoah” is a visually striking and deeply moving cinematic achievement, its length can be quite overwhelming, and the documentary relies almost exclusively on interviews with survivors and eyewitnesses, presenting very little direct documentary evidence or archival footage to support their testimonies. Although the suffering described is undoubtedly horrific, some viewers might find it difficult to fully accept every detail as historically accurate due to the lack of corroborating documentation within the film. This approach does not dismiss the reality or gravity of their experiences, but it does leave room to question certain claims or the sheer scale of events, especially since the film does not attempt to contrast testimony with original records or material evidence. In general, engaging with well-restored historical films in 4K is enjoyable, but for subjects like the Holocaust, a greater emphasis on evidence and verification can be important for those who wish to fully understand and critically examine historical facts.
