The Last of the Unjust
Claude Lanzmann made the Holocaust documentary classic Shoah in 1985. There was a lot of footage he wasnt able to use, and some of it has found its way into The Last of the Unjust, which focuses on Benjamin Murmelstein, the head of the Jewish Council of Elders that ran the notorious concentration camp, Theresienstadt, in Czechoslovakia. He was appointed by Adolf Eichmann, and decades later, collaborators like him became the target of Hannah Arendt who appears to have considered them guiltier than Eichmann himself. Lanzmann is not a filmmaker in a hurry, and even at half the length of Shoah, which ran for eight hours, this is not an easy film to watch. His lengthy interviews are more like conversations, in which he alternately plays witness and prosecutor, enabling him to get at truths--often ugly--that his subjects would prefer to conceal.
