Auschwitz Is Now A Video Game Film: Video

by | 9th, September 2010

UWE Boll is creating a film about Auschwitz. The film will be treated in his usual sensitive manner, as you can see from the clip below.

Boll is best known for making terrible film based on video games. Auschwitz was not a video game, but given Boll’s treatment it might have been.

The trailer features Boll dressed as a Nazi nodding off as the dying scream and hammer on the metal door behind him.

Large black swastikas were found painted on a French memorial at a Holocaust deportation site outside Paris in Drancy, France, on April 11, 2009. They were daubed on a railway wagon used to deport French Jews and on a commemorative pillar. A 1.5 metre (five foot) swastika was painted on the wagon, another one metre high was found on the pillar and a third was painted on the wall of a shop about 500 metres away. A Jewish student group Saturday condemned the vandalism at Drancy. From 1941 to 1944 Drancy served as the main transit camp for French prisoners of the German SS. More than 76,000 people were deported from there to the death camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau and Sobibor and only about 2,000 survived. A further 3,000 are thought to have perished at Drancy from abuse, starvation, or disease. The last Auschwitz-bound transport left the camp on July 31 1944, and the site was liberated 18 days later.

Says he:

“I made the movie because there is not one movie made what shows the Holocaust really was — a killing factory.”

Because what is more real than actors in a scripted film..?

If you want to experience the reality without DisneySchwitz, go to Yad Vashem. You can watch the films and read the testimonies. At the Imperial War Museum you can request to see a war film from the archives and view it in the cinema room. Some of the footage is horrific. The horror needs no updating and spin. This film does not remember the dead, it exploits them for cheap sensation…

Here’s Boll’s trailer. It’s NSFW:
