| Trivia | Director Andrzej Munk died during production. The film was left in an unfinished state, but was later assembled for release, using photo stills and voice-over narration. See more » |
| Goofs | In one scene, the film shows groups of clothed prisoners of all sexes and ages calmly walking into a gas chamber. In reality, the Nazi's at Auschwitz separated the prisoners by sex and age, had them remove all their clothing, and sometimes had them run to the gas chamber so they would be out of breath and inhale the gas faster, once inside. It was far different than the peaceful activity depicted in the film. See more » |
