Synopsis
The Last Days traces the compelling experiences of five Hungarian Holocaust survivors who fell victim to Adolf Hitler’s brutal war against the Jews during the final days of World War II. The film shares the remarkable stories of five people — a grandmother, a teacher, a businessman, an artist, and a U.S. congressman — as they return from the United States to their hometowns and to the ghettos and concentration camps that once imprisoned them. Through the eyes of the survivors and other witnesses, including a former Nazi doctor at Auschwitz, The Last Days recounts one of the darkest chapters in human history. But above all, The Last Days is a potent depiction of personal strength and courage, and a testament to the power of the human spirit.
