On a Spring day in 1984, a group of Hungarian tourists alight from their motor coach: they look in some ways "typical"-mostly middle aged or older-but their faces lack the placid curiosity of the casual visitor. The tourist site is Auschwitz and the "tourists" are mostly survivors, come to remember, or their children, brought to witness. Just what Auschwitz is today, for them and for others, is the question this probing documentary asks. The past surfaces unexpectedly to become the present when visitors recall incidents of everyday horror as if from a dream; typical of Gazdag's effective approach, irony is built-in, sentimentalism screened out. A German tour guide notes with alarming, unconscious pride the mechanisms and functions of the death camp. Cameras click...and the film cameras roll; Gazdag incorporates this bitter ambiguity into his work. His exploration of the Hungarian experience of Nazism is both thoughtful and open ended. As one former inmate offers, for starters, "The day God died in Auschwitz has implications to this day."
