Presented by Steven Spielberg And The Shoah Foundation
Nominated for a 1999 Academy Award, The Last Days is
the story of five remarkable people whose strength and will to live represent the
extraordinary power of the human spirit. From the villages of Carpathia to the
cosmopolitan city of Budapest, the Nazis ravaged their Hungarian homeland. Despite all, as
new Americans they lived to build new lives out of turbulent childhoods. Told solely by
the voices of eyewitnesses, The Last Days interweaves private accounts, pivotal
historic footage, and a powerful score by Academy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer. A
monumental film and a stunning legacy from Steven Spielbergs Shoah Foundation.
