As some of you may recall, I had the opportunity to visit Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in winter 2021. On a viciously cold day, we trudged for miles through the former barracks and crematoriums of the complex. While standing beside the grim, abandoned railroad tracks, we noticed some ordinary-looking homes nearby. We were struck by the notion that the people who lived there at the time had to know what was going on. “The Zone of Interest,” Jonathan Glazer’s film based on a 2014 novel by Martin Amis, builds on that idea.
Thank you for your most revealing and honest review of "The Zone of Interest." My sister and I can relate to the frightening words and to the pictures in our minds of what happened decades ago. As we left the crowded theater , silence was dominant. I only wish that history does not repeat itself.
Never again.
