Prisoner of Paradise

The concept of this film is terrible: the Nazis forced a Jew, who's people were being massacred and tortured at the time, to film his brethren and attempt to make it seem humane to the rest of the world. It shows how the Nazis abused propaganda techniques by creating the false images of the camps for the rest of the world. It also shows the extent at which the Nazis would go to reach their goal without the care of life. However, not all of the blame can be put on the Nazis, the film director, Gerron, consiously chose to film the death camps and put a humane "slant" to it in exchange for a better life and exemption from the camps. This completely backfired on him, as he was put in the camp anyway on top of creating a false image of the camps, where he died. The film also explores his life as a director before the Holocaust and how successful and talented he was, which makes it more of a shame that he had to die such an ironic and early death.
