Ein Tag – Bericht aus einem deutschen Konzentrationslager 1939

17:30 Introduction with Klaus Davidowicz

A film that leaves indelible impressions. EIN TAG provides an unsparing insight into the cruel everyday life of the concentration camp system. Based on the memoirs of Gunther R. Lys, the film depicts life in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp on a single winter's day: characterised by humiliation, senseless violence and deadly arbitrariness. Directed by Egon Monk, one of the most important television directors of the post-war period, the film is a work that combines documentary and literary depth. EIN TAG is more than a film - it is a memorial against forgetting that forces us to reflect with depressing topicality. (Klaus Davidowicz)
