"A Visit to Auschwitz" isn't just a documentary; it's a raw and poignant journey into history in motion. The film intimately follows a group of middle school students and some of their parents as they travel to Auschwitz for the solemn 80th anniversary of its Liberation. This pilgrimage proves to be an undeniably amazing and profoundly eye-opening experience, etching itself onto the hearts and minds of these young visitors.

While the film's production quality exhibits some inconsistencies, particularly the fluctuating audio in outdoor scenes, the sheer weight of the experience transcends these technical limitations. The emotional impact remains immense, often leaving the viewer breathless. Some of the visuals are undeniably heartbreaking, and as we listen to the candid reflections of the students and parents, we witness the profound and lasting effect this visit has on them. The film powerfully brings the stark reality of Auschwitz into sharp focus, allowing us to grasp, on some level, the unimaginable suffering endured by those imprisoned and lost within its walls. It serves as a vital and urgent reminder of the imperative to ensure that such atrocities are never repeated.

Deepest gratitude is extended to Jeff Rudkin and Lora Batchelor Middle School for their foresight and commitment in organizing this transformative experience for their students and families.
