Shoah [Criterion Collection] Blu-ray Review

July 15, 2013 By Lawrence D. Devoe, MD 5 Comments

Shoah, the Holocaust, is Claude Lanzmann’s epic rendering of the horror of the Nazi death camps, recalled by survivors, bystanders, and perpetrators. This nearly 10-hour set of four films took 11 years to complete and stands apart from any previous or subsequent efforts to tell the tragic story of man’s inhumanity to man.
