A courageous act to expose Nazi horrors unfolds in Slovak World War II drama 'The Auschwitz Report,' directed by Peter Bebjak.

The immersive historical drama “The Auschwitz Report,” Slovakia’s submission for the 2020 international film Oscar, tells yet another true-life Holocaust-era tale of courage and daring with harrowing and deeply affecting results.

The heroic pair’s goal was not only to free themselves from the clutches of the camp’s ruthless officers but to publicly expose the appallingly underreported, disbelieved and propagandized atrocities taking place under the Third Reich’s master plan.The film’s first two acts follow Wetzler and Rosenberg as they disappear from sight and hide for days in a nightmarishly claustrophobic, plank-covered ditch awaiting their best chance to break out of the camp.

The movie’s tightly coiled pacing eases up a bit, but becomes no less involving, once Wetzler and Rosenberg exit Auschwitz and remarkably stay alive as they make their way through mountains and forests and toward the Polish-Slovak border, with help from resistance members they encounter en route.
