PARENTAL CONTENT
SEXUAL CONTENT AND NUDITY
Woman are seen naked while heading into the gas chambers, and a teenager boy and twenty-six year old woman kiss before lying down (nothing shown)
VIOLENCE
The entire movie is set in a death camp. And it isn't something to joke about. A man is beaten various times. A teenager is whipped once and in pain for a few seconds. Offscreen a baby and its mother are shot. There is a hanging, 26 men are shot with a machine gun after 13 try to escape. A SS guard is hit with a bucket with smoke comes from the chimneys, and towards the end, the Jews kill guards with knives, (nothing shown) and blood is only shown in one of the scenes. And at the end, a few of the protagonists are (sadly) shot. Bombs explode towards the end.
