Trivia
Steven Spielberg told director László Nemes that Son of Saul (2015) greatly contributed to the collective memory of the Holocaust and that he hadn't expected that it would take so long after Schindler's List (1993) to make such a film. [Daily Herald, 2016]
Quotes
Abraham Warszawski:
Who's this boy?
Saul Ausländer:
My son.
Abraham Warszawski:
But you have no son.
Saul Ausländer:
I do. I have to bury him.
Abraham Warszawski:
You don't need a rabbi for that.
Saul Ausländer:
At least he'll do what's right.
Goofs
The short text at the beginning says, that the members of the 'Sonderkommando' were killed after 3 months, but this is a simplification of the more complicated history. While it's correct that these men were supposed to be killed and replaced after a few months, in some cases they were killed much earlier and in other rare cases they could survive for over 2 years, like Filip Müller. This depended mostly on the skills of the individual 'Sonderkommando' slave worker, who was sometimes needed by the SS to train the new 'Sonderkommando' members, but also on pure coincidence and luck.
