Powerful, but brutal and unrelenting! By the time the movie was nearing its conclusion I didn’t care how it turned out, I just wanted it to be over.

Saul is a member of the Sonderkommandos at Auschwitz. The Sonderkommandos were work units who were forced to aid in the disposal of bodies during the Holocaust. When Saul finds a boy, still alive, while emptying the gas chamber, the boy is turned over to the authorities and is quickly killed. Saul is determined to give the boy a proper Jewish burial. Whether or not the boy is really his son is never clear.
