Hungarian Horrors
By Jeffrey M. Anderson
Steven Spielberg produced and James Moll directed this powerful Academy Award-winning documentary about five Hungarian Jews who survived the Holocaust in 1945. By the time Hitler invaded Hungary, he was more bent on destroying Jews than winning the war. Eschewing old newsreel footage and utilizing only either new or recently uncovered footage, the survivors' tales are beautifully, vividly told. One survivor, Tom Lantos, is a current Congressman in Northern California. The Last Days is a life-affirming and moving experience that should not be missed.
In 2021, the film was restored and released on Netflix, and is still worth seeing.
