My impression was that the showers at the death camps were not connected to water at all; they were for the exclusive use of gassing people. (I wish I could quote a source, but oh well...) The inclusion of that shower scene for dramatic purposes undercuts the fact of the death camps, in my opinion. I assume there were "real" showers in the labor camps, but in this film, which was not about the labor camps, they only cloud the issue. Marti *** [log in to unmask] *** Film Studies Program
