The Nizkor Project: Remembering the Holocaust (Shoah)

Were films such as Holocaust and The Winds of War documentary films?


59. Were films such as Holocaust and The Winds of War documentary films?

The IHR says:

No, the films do not claim to be history, rather fictional dramatizations BASED on history. Unfortunately, all too many people have taken them to be accurate representations of history as it really happened.

Nizkor replies:

There are many authentic films from the camps -- photographed by the Allies and the Russians. Some rather gruesome but totally accurate representations of history can be found here.
