- Synopsis:
- The film takes its title from Hitler's decree that anyone who 'endangered Germany's security' was to Vanish with out trace (in the) night and fog' of the Third Reich. A harrowing look at concentration camps and the Holocaust, it carefully juxtaposes documentary footage, shot in black and white by the Allied troops, who liberate the camps with contemporary colour footage of a tour of the ruins of Auschwitz in the 50s. The images that Resnais presents are so haunting that any attempt to describe them in words is almost futile. How does one comment on footage chronicling the German Army executing the logic' of the 'Final Solution'.
