Title: Disappointing
Product review: This disk delivered a whole lot less than I was expecting. That may be my fault. It consisted mostly of period still photos with a voice-over of a man reading a script. There are some color clips of the site today, a tourist attraction. All the prisoner barracks and other important buildings are gone. One gets little sense of how Buchenwald looked back then.As for the central character, the villainess, she is a slightly cleaned up version of what I had read about her. According to this, many of the crimes of which she was accused were never proved, i.e., of having lampshades and other items made from the tatooed skin of slain prisoners, of hhaving shrunken heads, of having sex with prisoners and then seeing them killed. It almost feels as if she were not really an ogre at all but a somewhat misunderstood victim of her time. Perhaps it is true, but if it is, the disk doesn't make that convincing.
