FILM
The film is focused on how the lives
of these survivors were affected and
destroyed by the horrific events that
happened during the second World War.
Claire Ferguson directs this real and
emotional depiction of innocent lives
shattered by other human beings.
The survivors are now all nearly 90's, but
they remember every detail, every face.
LlionRoberts interviews these survivors
that share their striking experiences. One
of the most difficult stories to tell is Pole
Ed Mosberg's, he was sent to Płaszów
and Mauthausen camps.
Mosberg shares his loss (he lost all of his
family), his feelings and his wife's story
(she also lost her sisters and brothers in
horrific ways). It's truly heartbreaking.
A key figure of this massacre was Amon
Göth who is described as evil and rotten
throughout the testimonies of his victims.
"I met two people in power: one was
Amon Göth and he took advantage of
his power by being an evil murderer and
killed innocent people. And the other
one was Oskar Schindler who used his
power to help people in crisis and he
was a good human being. So we have a
choice to make," Helen Jonas, one of the
interviewees in the film went on to say.
Destination Unknown still manages
to balance these horrible events with
the few positive glimpses of hope that
emerged during these nightmarish five
years. Factory owner Oskar Schindler
saved almost 1100 people thanks to his
stratagem. There is so much to say, yet
Destination Unknown speaks for itself.
