He interviews survivors, witnesses, and ex-Nazis (whom he had to film secretly since they only agreed to be interviewed by audio).

Claude Lanzmann directed this 9 1/2 hour documentary of the Holocaust without using a single frame of archive footage. He interviews survivors, witnesses, and ex-Nazis (whom he had to film secretly since they only agreed to be interviewed by audio). His style of interviewing by asking for the most minute details is effective at adding up these details to give a horrifying portrait of the events of Nazi genocide. He also shows, or rather lets some of his subjects themselves show, that the anti-Semitism that caused 6 million Jews to die in the Holocaust is still alive and well in many people who still live in Germany, Poland, and elsewhere.
Leave your thoughts about Shoah.
| South Florida Sun-SentinelCandice RussellLanzmann`s monumental film bears significant witness to the Holocaust. Those who see it will never forget it. |
| indieWireEric KohnViewing "Shoah" today proves that the Holocaust is not a discrete event, but rather an ongoing public narrative in which the movie continues to play a crucial part. |
| Times (UK)Kate MuirIts riveting nine hours are perhaps the most important piece of historical cinema we possess. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasWith his 9 1/2-hour Shoah, Claude Lanzmann has accomplished the seemingly impossible: He has brought such beauty to his recounting of the horror of the Holocaust that he has made it accessible and comprehensible. |
| Radio TimesDavid ParkinsonPutting a face on inhuman misery, this remarkable achievement demonstrates film's unique power and its underperformed duty. |

| Q Network Film DeskJames Kendricka magnificently disquieting experience--a harrowing descent into the depths of humanity's potential for unmitigated brutality, cruelty, and evil. |
| Filmcritic.comChris Cabintakes to task largely accepted concepts of what is known, what can be imagined, and how people relate to Hitler's mass extermination with an unrivaled formal insight. |
| DVDTalk.comGil JawetzIt is impossible not to change a little bit after watching all 9 1/2 hours of Shoah. |
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezLanzmann builds the past using tools that exist only in the present, summoning an unfathomable catastrophe with the voices and memories of survivors. |
