Special and almost forgotten film.
Only 71 votes on Imdb compared to 1.4 million for Schindler's List. And Steven Spielberg has seen the film because his controversial shower scene is copied 1:1 from Juraj Herz's film.
Water or gas?
Herz, who himself was in Auschwitz, said in an interview that he could see the fear in the eyes of the elderly when they stood under the shower heads while he was sure that it was not a gas chamber because of the glass windows.
Herz had no interest in a lawsuit against Spielberg's lawyers.
Special thanks to Baggerman for taking care of the Czech section here on MM
