Searching in the "Horror Movies" category on the popular Netflix streaming network appears in the documentary "Nazi Concentration Camps", which depicts the horror of the Holocaust

  • Documentary Holocaust in the Netflix horror film category // From the movie "Nazi concentration camps"

Netflix's algorithm may be able to accurately decode company viewing preferences, but historical sensitivity is something that's probably a little harder to program.

Horror movie genre lovers are expected to have a very disturbing surprise when writing the words gory movies, freely translated - blood-clad horror movies in the search engine. Among the many such films as "Final Destination 5", "Hannibal" and "The Saw: The Last Episode", you can also find the movie "Nazi concentration camps". Unlike the other cheap thrillers under this category, this is a 1945 documentary filmed by the United States Army depicting the horrors of the Holocaust.

The documentation shows the crimes of the Nazi regime and throughout the movie US officers take guards in concentration camps to witness their actions, including a terrifying glimpse of huge mass graves, close-up photographs of crematoria and reconstruction of the torture methods used by the Gestapo.

In one of the most difficult scenes in this document, 1,200 residents of a nearby town are taken to the Buchenwald concentration camp, where they are shown man-made lampshades and shrunken heads of inmates prepared as souvenirs for the camp's wife, Ilsa Koch.

As mentioned earlier, this search result is very jarring when you look at the other movies in this category, fictional, theatrical films created for net entertainment purposes. It is important to note that this search only appears on Netflix Israel in the English version, but it is not a specific phenomenon. Company customers from around the world receive the same result.

Even if this misguided association is not done in malicious intent but in good faith, it may still make a false impression on viewers around the world who are unfamiliar with the historical background and are suddenly exposed to this document among a host of theatrical films with farcical storytelling.
