Abraham Bomba was interviewed by Claude Lanzmann during the filming of SHOAH in 1979. At Treblinka, Mr. Bomba was forced to cut women's hair before they were gassed and he sorted clothing from arriving transports. He escaped from the camp in 1943 and made his way back to Czestochowa, Poland, where he had been raised.

  • This movie is not a documentary. Wake up! In his book 'Pietà', Swedish Jewish Professor Georg Klein told of a conversation he had with Rudolf Vrba in 1987. Klein asked him if his statements in the film 'Shoa' were really true. Vrba answered: “I do not know. I was just an actor and I recited my text.” The actors of this film received a script telling them what to say and they were paid 3,000 deutschmarks by Claude Lanzmann for their acting performance. ;-)
