Auschwitz: Inside the Nazi State

As a documentary detailing the horrors of Auschwitz and the 'Final Solution', audience emotional responses are overwhelmingly negative and reflective. Dominant emotions include Sadness and Empathy due to the immense human suffering and personal accounts of victims. Disturbing, Anger, and Disgust are strongly evoked by the atrocities, inhumane conditions, and the moral depravity of the Nazi regime. Fear and Anxiety reflect the chilling nature of the historical events. Curiosity is significant as the documentary provides an in-depth historical account, while a somber Awe is felt at the overwhelming scale of the tragedy. Melancholy pervades as a profound sense of sadness and reflection. Minimal Relief and Hope emerge only with the depiction of liberation, serving as a slight counterpoint to the pervasive despair and a call for remembrance to prevent future atrocities.
