本片探讨二战期间欧洲的犹太人大灭绝，这部主题、形式、范围均博大宽广的电影巨著，是我们每个人应当看的作品。 从记忆和历史的角度看，《浩劫》与其它反映犹太人大灭绝的作品相比，在证词的强烈程度和历史的严谨上高出一筹。克罗德·朗兹曼在13年间经常寻找事件和地点的真相。 《浩劫》既是出色的历史文献，详尽描绘着纳粹灭绝机器，也是一首长长的诔词，将观众带入形而上的体验，带到野蛮的根源。 《浩劫》包涵着庞大的记者工作，在调查和采访方面堪称典范，但它又不只是报道。它同时也是电影巨著（尤其是其剪接），将数十个小时的采访以相互回答、相互碰撞、相互衔接的方式组接起来，一再询问“为什么”却永远得不到答案，因为恐怖已无公度。克罗德·朗兹曼说：“《浩劫》这部影片有关死亡的绝对性，而与幸存者无关。活下去是另一个故事。”

Myths die hard, and the history of the 20th century is no exception to this rule. Even today, we hold popular beliefs that we take for Evangelical truths. Thus, we believe that Hiroshima caused Japan to surrender, that the Marshall Plan saved Europe, that Adolf Hitler was a military genius, or that Mao Zedong was a necessary evil for China’s modernization. Of course, these judgements contain some truth; but, too broad-stroked to be accurate, they contradict the historical reality by denying its complexity. What if the truth was slightly different? Through an exploration of great national or international myths, this full archive documentary collection revisits the key moments of the 20th century with a new perspective in order to provide a new, smarter and more subtle interpretation, bringing elements to light that have been forgotten or sometimes overshadowed.
