The Auschwitz Report

PLEASE NOTE:  At the distributor’s request, this film will be limited to Vermont and New Hampshire-based audiences only.

Experience the incredible true story of Alfred Wetzler and Rudolf Vrba, Freddy and Walter, two young Slovak Jews who were deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1942, in the remarkable and stunning drama, The Auschwitz Report. On April 10, 1944, after meticulous planning and with the help and the resilience of their fellow prisoners, the two men, whom the Nazis designated as “scribes” to dutifully account for each day’s inexorable deaths, manage to escape their hideous environment. While the prisoners they had left behind courageously stand their ground against the imperious Nazi officers, the two men are driven on by the hope that their accumulated evidence of torture and extermination could save lives. Emaciated and hurt, they make their way through the mountains back to Slovakia. With the help of chance encounters, they finally cross the border and meet up with the Resistance and, eventually, The Red Cross. They compile a detailed report about the systematic genocide taking place at Auschwitz. However, with Nazi propaganda and international liaisons still in place, their account seems to be too harrowing to believe. The Auschwitz Report is Slovakia’s candidate for the 93rd Academy Awards in the best international feature film category.
