Our movie of the month: The Zone of Interest

The Zone of Interest portraits the everyday life of the Höss family, who live in comfort and privilege next to the Auschwitz concentration camp. What happens there is never shown, yet its presence is inescapable. Many critics consider this multi-award-winning film a must-see.
