The Last Stage

DVD Back Cover (Polart 2009) provides this information: "Martha Weiss, a Jew, is sent to Auschwitz concentration camp with her family. On the first day of their arrival Martha is, by a coincidence, chosen as an interpreter, but her entire family is killed. The horrible lives of female immates {sic] of Auschwitz are chronicled in this chillingly accurate recreation of actual events. Filmed on location at the notorious German concentration camp, it tells the story of one woman's attempts to survive until she is eventually rescued. Based on the actual experiences of film director, Wanda Jakubowska, as a prisoner of a German concentration camp."
