The Maelstrom makes extraordinarily artful use of a considerable cache of home movies shot in the Netherlands before and during World War II. Information is conveyed through subtitles and a soundtrack of period sound—mostly radio broadcasts—and brooding, disturbing jazz by Tibor Szemz\u00c5'. We see a Jewish family first living unknowingly in the shadow of the Holocaust and then trying to cope with it, still unaware of what it will finally mean. A shot of the film's photographer, Max Peereboom, and his family cheerfully sewing and doing general preparation for a trip to a \"work camp\"—when their destination was the nightmare of Auschwitz—adds a devastating dimension to our understanding that no Hollywood movie, no other documentary, has been able to provide. Respite consists of silent black-and-white films shot at Westerbork, a Dutch refugee camp established in 1939 for Jews fleeing Germany. In 1942, after the occupation of Holland, its function was reversed by the Nazis and it became a \"transit camp.\" In 1944, the camp commander commissioned a film, shot by a prisoner, photographer Rudolf Breslauer. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
