"There has never been a film giving such a haunting impression of the fact that during the last four years of the war, Europe was just one huge site for death transports, disguised as 'resettlement activities', rolling to the camps day and night, via Berlin, Warsaw and Lodz - on the same tracks which served 'normal' train traffic. Trains going past forests and villages, the steam of engines, the landscapes flitting past, trains shunting - after this film if will be much harder to watch a railway film without thinking of the transports to Auschwitz and Treblinka."
(from epd Film 2/86)
