From the Jacket:
Hailed as one of the world's greatest documentaries, Night and Fog is the definitive film on Nazi concentration camps and a devastating record of man's inhumanity to man. Like a master conductor, director Alain Resnais (Hiroshima, Mon Amour; Last Year at Marienbad) weaves contemporary images of the abandoned camp at Auschwitz with newsreel footage of the atrocities that occurred there. Juxtaposing color and black-and-white film, Night and Fog brings the horror of the Holocaust to the present. An elegy on memory and immeasurable sorrow, this tightly structured half-hour film forshadows Resnais' remarkable feature films. Upon its release, Francois Truffaut called it the greatest film ever made.
Variety:
Searing. A telling document of a terrible episode of human history.
Video Movie Guide:
* * * * Beautifully composed. One of the most personal and effective of all studies of Hitler's final solution.
