This comment is not only useless, it is entirely misleading, to wit "it gives one participant an opportunity to set the record straight", while the reviewer should rather have stated "that it gives one participant of an historic tragedy - in which he played a significant part - an opportunity TO DISTORT THE RECORD".
Murmelstein was an extraordinary intelligent, cunning and shrewd person who was despised and feared by most people who came in contact with him while he was in charge of the organizational and functional aspects of the deportations of the Viennese Jews from October 1941 to October 1942, I among them. During that time I had many opportunities not only to observe him but hearing many comments about him by others who came in contact with him. There and then later in Theresienstadt, I could witness for two more years how his brutal behavior continued in Theresienstadt. There he was often called MURMELSCHWEIN which means MURMEL-PIG in German, and my judgment of him was and is shared by many and, furthermore, can easily be confirmed by many sources. There is much more to be said about him but that would my comments quite long
Mr. Lanzmann seems to know little and understand even less about the Shoah. Nor does his previous experience as a journalist qualify him for this interview. For otherwise, he would not have depended on one person's testimony, especially about himself without also consulting other sources. Murmelstein was one of the earliest interviewees in 1975 when he launched his documentary "Shoah" and, interestingly, did not include any part of this interview in it . As a journalist in France Mr.Read more ›

If you have seen Shoah and have a deeper interest in the Holocaust, I highly recommend investing the four hours of your time one afternoon and watching it. I did not find it slow moving but perhaps this is because I find the subject matter so interesting.

Very interesting perspective of the holocaust and not overly dramatized. That is not to say that it wasn't deeply affecting to the viewer. The story narrative by Murmelstein was riveting and quietly horrifying. Murmelstein had a lot to say and was very thoughtful about his role in the camp, unapologetic at times, but effective in his narration.

About life, I don’t even presume I have all of the answers. I don’t even presume I ever understand the questions. There are experiences from human history that defy explanation, that defy rationalization, that defy a reasoned analysis on any human level; and I’ve always felt it best to leave these matters in the hands of the saints to sort out meaning from meaninglessness. However, I firmly agree that occasionally there’s merit to be found in attempt to sort through a measure of human behavior if for no better reason than to seek a kind of ‘peace’ from the examination. While it still may make little sense, a lesson or two may rise above the fray, teaching us something about ourselves or this great place we live in called the universe.
(NOTE: The following review will contain minor spoilers necessary solely for the discussion of plot and/or characters. If you’re the kind of reader who prefers a review entirely spoiler-free, then I’d encourage you to skip down to the last three paragraphs for my final assessment. If, however, you’re accepting of a few modest hints at ‘things to come,’ then read on …)
From the product packaging: “Three decades after his cinematic milestone, Shoah, Claude Lanzmann once again reorients our understanding of the Holocaust. THE LAST OF THE UNJUST centers on Benjamin Murmelstein, the last Jewish elder of Theresienstadt (the so-called ‘model’ ghetto), a figure despised by many of the ghetto’s surviving inhabitants. Intercut with footage of Lanzmann himself revisiting specific sites in Vienna and the Czech Republic, the brilliant Murmelstein – sometimes excitedly but more often calmly – explains his actions and precisely defines his paradoxical role in history.”

I study the Holocaust and learn from everything I read and watch about the Holocaust - It is a life long study for me. I watched this somewhat long docu (3:38) over several sessions - it is in subtitle - and made notes of so many things to look up. I haven't really read a lot about Therienstadt but knew it was the German version of a model camp. Though I could not understand Murmelstein in his native language, one could tell that he seemed, at times, to be coming from a defensive position. His explanations for his actions made sense as he explained them but I could also see how, at the time and in that time frame, they were taken otherwise. I plan on re-watching the docu more than once - quite comprehensive in it's history of this "model" camp and this figure in history.

Overall I found this to be a disappointing documentary. Based on the title, and the introductory film verbiage, Mumelstein was to be the focus of this film. He was interviewed for days. Yet Mumelstein was not on the screen for even half of this movie. Lanzmann devoted far too much time talking about Eichmann, background for Theresienstadt, and other matters. Oh, and also having himself front and center reading scripts, rather than just using interview clips from the only man who matters to this documentary. As another reviewer mentioned, Lanzmann's interviewing here is atrocious. He is much more hard hitting with the Poles, Germans, and Red Cross worker he interviews in Shoah. I know the rap on Mumelstein from reading history elsewhere.. At the end of this film, I would be dumbfounded as to Mumelstein's actual roles and the claims against him. I'm really not sure why Lanzmann felt he had to make this movie.
