New Doc Reveals German Atrocities “Night Will Fall” tells the chapter of the Holocaust about what happened when American and British forces discovered the death camps. It also tells the story of attempts to put a massive amount of film footage from that time and place into releasable form.
The film’s title derives from narration recorded for “German Concentration Camps Factual Story”:
“Unless the world learns the lesson these pictures teach, night will fall. But by God’s Grace we who live will learn.”
“Night Will Fall” is directed by Andre Singer, narrated by Helena Bonham Carter, and released by Brett Ratner’s RatPac Documentary Films.
For more films about the Holocaust, see Moriah Films. I found that their film, “Against the Tide”, added a bit of insight into the United States’ response to the Holocaust.
“Night Will Fall” will be cablecast by HBO beginning on January 26, 2015. D. Schwartz January 19, 2015
