Documentary on the prisoners forced to clean out the gas chambers in the concentration camp of Auschwitz during the Second World War. The frightening images are seen through the eyes of three men from Salonika, Greece whose family members were interned in European concentration camps, but that miraculously survived.

     The film tells the story of Morris, his youngest brother, Shlomo, and cousin Dario, who were taken from Athens to Auschwitz in April 1944, on a journey lasting 11 days. On arrival at the camp, they were assigned to work in the gas chambers, cremating the cadavers.

     They could also have been killed for having been witness to crimes against the Jews, but were liberated at the end of the war. They are returning to Auschwitz for the first time since they left the camp in 1945, and they tell of their experiences on site.
