4 FILMS AFTER SHOAH will be released for the first time on DVD in the UK – Claude Lanzmann's four films that he made as follow-ups to his landmark SHOAH each of which explore in further depth specific aspects and events of the Nazis' extermination programme. Featuring the films A VISITOR FROM THE LIVING / SOBIBÓR OCTOBER 14 1943 4PM / THE KARSKI REPORT and THE LAST OF THE UNJUST (released theatrically in the UK & Eire on 9 January 2015) the four films will be released in a 2 x DVD set as part of the Masters of Cinema Series on 26 January 2015... to coincide to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. A VISITOR FROM THE LIVING [1997] is based on an interview conducted by Lanzmann with Maurice Rossel during the filming of SHOAH.

Only 50 prisoners ultimately evaded capture while the rest were sent to their murders in the gas chamber. THE KARSKI REPORT [2010] is Lanzmann's brief film on Jan Karski the Polish resistance figure who also featured in the final section of SHOAH and which recounts Karski's powerful testimonial given to Franklin D. Roosevelt and Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter on what he witnessed during a trip to the Warsaw Ghetto and to the extermination camp Belzec.
