SIGHET SIGHET author Elie Wiesel DVD documentary Holocaust NWT Hungary WW2
This is “Sighet Sighet,” a brand-new, gift-quality DVD manufactured by Alden Films in 2010. It is in perfect shape, runs 72 minutes, and includes all artwork…
Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiesel returns, ghost- like, to the Hungarian town where he was born, and where, twenty-five years before, the entire Jewish population disappeared into the maw of the German cattle trains. The camera pans slowly over the townscape and cuts to photos of it from happier days, as Wiesel reflects mournfully and ironically on what has happened. A very low-key but gripping film, suited to audiences knowledgeable about the facts of the Holocaust.
