New Delhi: ‘Bawaal’ starring Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan premiered on Prime Video last week to mixed reviews from audiences and critics. The makers of the film received a lot of backlash for drawing on World War II history and historical figures like Adolf Hitler to justify the film’s plot. Dialogues like ‘hum sab bhi Hitler ki tarah hai’ or ‘har rishte to apne auschwitz se guzarna padta hai’ have been criticised alot from various viewpoints. Many have pointed out how such dialogues and scenes recreating the camp experience trvialize the magnanimity of horrors of the Holocaust.
The Nitesh Twiari directorial ‘Bawaal’ was shot in many regions of Europe which are crucial landmarks of WW II including the Omaha Beach in Normandy, Auschwitz and Berlin. Auschwitz in Poland is one of the most promiment symbols of post War horrors of the Holocaust.
All About Auschwitz
Auschwitz, in Poland, was a complex of 40 concentration and extermination camps during World War II and the Holocaust. It consisted of Auschwitz I, the main camp in Oświęcim and Auschwitz II in Birkenau. The Birkenau camp was where the infamous extermination with gas chambers occured. There was also an Aushwitz III, a chemical conglomerate of many subcamps in Monowitz.
Auschwitz collectively was called the most lethal of Nazi extermination camps. Auschwitz was the site of ‘final solution’, a synonym used for extermination of all Jews, differently abled people, communists, prisoners of war, and many more who did not suit and support teh idea of the 1000 year Reich across the world.
Initially, Auschwitz 1, an army barracks was converted into a prisoner-of-war camp in September 1939 when Germany ( the Schutzstaffel or SS) invaded Poland and World War II began. The camp had a reputation for sadim. Prisoners were beaten, tortures and executed for the most trivial reasons.
The first gassings of Soviet and Polish prisoners in Aushwitz 1 happened in 1941 in block 11. It is said that the SS and police deported at least 1.3 million people to the Auschwitz camp complex between 1940 and 1945. Of these people, approximately 1.1 million people were murdered. The unofficial figures suggest more. Those who were no gassed were murdered via starvation, exhaustion, individual execution, beatings and work that drove extreme exhaustion. Some were also killed during medical experiments.
The Holocaust or the genocite of European Jews during the WW II, is the best documented genocide of hostory. Of the 802 prisonerswho tried to excape Auschwitz, 144 successed successfully. Many surived through the years they were at the concentration camp and went on to write memoirs of their experiences at the camp. Unfortunately, many notable names such a Primo Levi and many other Holocaust survivors committed suicide due to trauma and the loss of family and loved ones during the genocide.
The Nazi policy of degradation and extermination of Jews was rooted in a racist and anti-Semitic idealogy propogated by the Third Reich.
In 1947, Poland founded the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum on the site of Auschwitz I and II, and in 1979 it was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
It is not possible to understand the history about this town in Poland without looking at the material ad contemporary evidence in the literature, arts and historical archives.
Holocuast in literature/history
To know more about Auschwitz and the horrors of Holocaust in detail; one can best read the memoir of Primo Levi, an Italian chemist, who survived the Auschwitz camp and wrote ‘Is This Is A Man’, Eddie Jaku’s The Happiest Man On Earth’ Anne Frank’s ‘The Diary of A Young Girl’, Lily Ebert’s ‘Lily’s Promise’, among others.

The makers of the film received a lot of backlash for drawing on World War II history and historical figures like Adolf Hitler to justify the film’s plot. Dialogues like ‘hum sab bhi Hitler ki tarah hai’ or ‘har rishte to apne auschwitz se guzarna padta hai’ have been criticised alot from various viewpoints. Many have pointed out how such dialogues and scenes recreating the camp experience trvialize the magnanimity of horrors of the Holocaust.
The Nitesh Twiari directorial ‘Bawaal’ was shot in many regions of Europe which are crucial landmarks of WW II including the Omaha Beach in Normandy, Auschwitz and Berlin. Auschwitz in Poland is one of the most promiment symbols of post War horrors of the Holocaust.
All About Auschwitz
Auschwitz, in Poland, was a complex of 40 concentration and extermination camps during World War II and the Holocaust. It consisted of Auschwitz I, the main camp in Oświęcim and Auschwitz II in Birkenau. The Birkenau camp was where the infamous extermination with gas chambers occured. There was also an Aushwitz III, a chemical conglomerate of many subcamps in Monowitz.
Auschwitz collectively was called the most lethal of Nazi extermination camps. Auschwitz was the site of ‘final solution’, a synonym used for extermination of all Jews, differently abled people, communists, prisoners of war, and many more who did not suit and support teh idea of the 1000 year Reich across the world.
Initially, Auschwitz 1, an army barracks was converted into a prisoner-of-war camp in September 1939 when Germany ( the Schutzstaffel or SS) invaded Poland and World War II began. The camp had a reputation for sadim. Prisoners were beaten, tortures and executed for the most trivial reasons.
The first gassings of Soviet and Polish prisoners in Aushwitz 1 happened in 1941 in block 11. It is said that the SS and police deported at least 1.3 million people to the Auschwitz camp complex between 1940 and 1945. Of these people, approximately 1.1 million people were murdered. The unofficial figures suggest more. Those who were no gassed were murdered via starvation, exhaustion, individual execution, beatings and work that drove extreme exhaustion. Some were also killed during medical experiments.
The Holocaust or the genocite of European Jews during the WW II, is the best documented genocide of hostory. Of the 802 prisonerswho tried to excape Auschwitz, 144 successed successfully. Many surived through the years they were at the concentration camp and went on to write memoirs of their experiences at the camp. Unfortunately, many notable names such a Primo Levi and many other Holocaust survivors committed suicide due to trauma and the loss of family and loved ones during the genocide.
The Nazi policy of degradation and extermination of Jews was rooted in a racist and anti-Semitic idealogy propogated by the Third Reich.
In 1947, Poland founded the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum on the site of Auschwitz I and II, and in 1979 it was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
It is not possible to understand the history about this town in Poland without looking at the material ad contemporary evidence in the literature, arts and historical archives.
Holocuast in literature/history
To know more about Auschwitz and the horrors of Holocaust in detail; one can best read the memoir of Primo Levi, an Italian chemist, who survived the Auschwitz camp and wrote ‘Is This Is A Man’, Eddie Jaku’s The Happiest Man On Earth’ Anne Frank’s ‘The Diary of A Young Girl’, Lily Ebert’s ‘Lily’s Promise’, among others.
