* NightmareFuel: The entire movie is extremely difficult to watch, being a portrayal of Auschwitz. People are killed by the dozens at once even outside the gas chambers, prisoners are constantly tortured to death, characters are promptly shot without warning, Mengele's experiments are shown to some extent, victims' corpses are disposed of in furnaces after some of their body parts are recycled first, and the movie ends with [[spoiler:the little girl being shot to death]]. It's the closest thing to Hell on Earth that has ever existed.

* CatharsisFactor: After an hour of watching horrific atrocities committed by the Nazis, watching the crematoriums get blown up and Nazi soldiers gunned down in the uprising is quite cathartic. Especially the crematorium guard who is [[LaserGuidedKarma stuffed into one of the ovens]].

* CompleteMonster: The [[StateSec SS]] sergeant and the physician are sociopathic UsefulNotes/{{Nazi|Germany}}s assigned to [[UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust Auschwitz]]:
** [[SociopathicSoldier SS-Oberscharführer Erich Mußfeldt]] is a high-ranking officer at [[PoWCamp Auschwitz]] in charge of the cell blocks and the labor divisions. Having countless prisoners shot, tortured, gassed, and burnt, Muhsfeldt [[BaitTheDog initially seems to be disturbed by his works]] before revealing the monstrous sadist he truly is. Mußfeldt refuses to spare a girl who survives the gas chambers, and has prisoners tortured for information on the insurrection, including having innocents shot to demand a rebel break and talk. After the rebellion, Mußfeldt [[CruelMercy sends back Dr. Nyiszil]] to work with Josef Mengele's horrible experiments to torment him further, and personally shoots the young girl after [[HopeSpot giving her a window of hope]].
** Dr. UsefulNotes/JosefMengele is a Nazi [[MadDoctor physician]] at Auschwitz who performs [[PlayingWithSyringes inhumane experiments]] with his unwilling assistant Dr. Miklos Nyszli. Introduced [[FauxAffablyEvil feigning pleasantries]] with Nyszli, Mengele expresses his [[ForScience scientific interest]] in performing additional "research" at Auschwitz. When female prisoners are caught smuggling gunpowder, Mengele tortures one of them while other Nazis interrogate her.
