To me, this movie is perfection.

Sorry, this movie sucks

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

There have been a number of Holocaust films, dramatic and documentary, and all have some measure of success in conveying the immense horror of Nazi psychosis. This film is one of the best I've seen. It sticks to personal stories and that makes the difference. Dry written narration removes the vastness of the evil perpetrated. It took decades for the real horror of the Nazi extermination to be adequately shown to the public. We should use this film as an example of the mindset that drives current holocausts being perpetrated right now or being openly planned by international leaders. It doesn't matter who is being persecuted, the open hated and psychosis of the perpetrators is on display here, you can easily see the same aberrant thought processes in action right now in Africa and the Middle East.If only the world could show the courage that was clearly lacking in the 1930's.

This movie was amazing. I was shocked at the fact that the one doctor was acquitted from Auschwitz because he was "nice". That was a little odd. This documentary takes the stories of the HUNGARIAN survivors and walks them back through the camp. There was a scene where one of the women sees the latrine. She gets upset. They also talk about how they would throw the dead bodies into fire pits and use the fat from the bodies as fuel to keep the bodies burning. What a horrible and unspeakable time. That one black man get my praise for killing the German soldier when he was spat on. So much hate was going on in that time. So much hate.

This is a movie of great historical,human value. The stories are presented in such a way that you have time to think about what you are seeing. I have a book which is a kind of companion piece to this movie ( it recommends seeing this film) - The Holocaust Chronicle. The Last Days brings to life the men and women on the pages of that book. The pain, the sorrow and suffering of a people who only wanted to live their lives and were only given hatred and scorn. To see how they have prospered is truly inspiring. The men and women who braved the worst scourges of the Nazi's should be shown in every high school world wide. This must never happen again. How fortunate the world is to have such brave, determined individuals in it. A must see for everyone. Bring plenty of tissues to the TV. You'll need them.

The Last Days is a documentary from 1998 directed by James Moll and Steven Spielberg produced it.The movie tells about five Hungarian Jews who share their most painful memories.These wonderful people are Renee Firestone, Irene Zisblatt, Bill Basch, Alice Lok Cahana and Tom Lantos.They had to go to concentration camp, they had to suffer all because they were Jewish.This is a very touching movie and you can't help crying while you're watching it.Only the one with the coldest heart could.This year it will be 60 years when the war ended, when there was no Hitler and the sun became to shine.But it still didn't shine bright.I don't think it ever will.
