"You can close your eyes. You can turn away. But you will never forget."

Overview

A Hungarian youth comes of age at Buchenwald during World War II. György Köves is 14, the son of a merchant who's sent to a forced labor camp. After his father's departure, György gets a job at a brickyard; his bus is stopped and its Jewish occupants sent to camps. There, György find camaraderie, suffering, cruelty, illness, and death. He hears advice on preserving one's dignity and self-esteem. He discovers hatred. If he does survive and returns to Budapest, what will he find? What is natural; what is it to be a Jew? Sepia, black and white, and color alternate to shade the mood.

An interesting movie about the personal experience of a Hungarian Jew during the Holocaust.

Still, you cannot really empathize with the weird apathetic personality of the main character until the last reflections of the movie.
