Coming today from Focus Features is the Steven Spielberg produced feature-length film covering the final few years of the Second World War.

Here’s what you can expect from the Oscar-winning documentary.

“The film shares the remarkable stories of five people ­– a grandmother, a teacher, a businessman, an artist, and a U.S. congressman – as they return from the United States to their hometowns and to the ghettos and concentration camps that once imprisoned them.”
