THE INVESTIGATION dramatizes testimonies by Nazi death-camp inmates. Adapted from the Peter Weiss Broadway play. For years, the machinery of Auschwitz consumed them, millions upon millions. Statistics cannot communicate the horror; adjectives cannot describe the nightmare. It is only through the testimonies of the survivors that we can understand what took place, and that it COULD HAPPEN AGAIN!
