First feature film to show mass murder of Jews and hunting for them on the occupied territories. 1946 Venice festival award. The story of the over 400 young women who underwent medical experimentation in Auschwitz under Carl Clauberg, an enterprising, sadistic gynaecologist. The mission became known for its fleet of distinctive buses. Painted entirely white, these vehicles carried the Red Cross emblem and Swedish or Danish flags so that they would not be mistaken for military targets. The various expeditions to the German concentration camps were long and highly dangerous, with every move watched by the SS and the Gestapo. The conditions the rescuers encountered at the camps were beyond comprehension. Young teens in Nazi Germany listen to banned swing music and deal with the pressures of joining the Nazi Youth Army.
