Love It Was Not

It sounds impossible for a concentration camp guard to fall in love with one of the prisoners, but Franz Wunsch believed himself to be doing so. Maya Sarfaty's "Ahava zot lo hayta" ("Love It Was Not" in English) feautres interviews with Auschwitz prisoner Helena Citron, after whom Wunsch lusted. Nonetheless, she knew that this was no authentic love.

Maybe Wunsch did in fact view Citron as someone whom he could truly love. It doesn't alter the fact that he was still playing a role in mass slaughter. That needs to get emphasized. This isn't the greatest documentary ever, but I still recommend it.
