2005 film by Lajos Koltai

In the horror of 1944 Auschwitz, a prisoner forced to burn the corpses of his own people finds moral survival trying to save from the flames the body of a boy he takes for his son, seeking to give him a proper jewish burial.

A young prosecutor in postwar West Germany investigates a massive conspiracy to cover up the Nazi pasts of prominent public figures.

Stingo, a young writer, moves to Brooklyn in 1947 to begin work on his first novel. As he becomes friendly with Sophie and her lover Nathan, he learns that she is a Holocaust survivor. Flashbacks reveal her harrowing story, from pre-war prosperity to Auschwitz. In the present, Sophie and Nathan's relationship increasingly unravels as Stingo grows closer to Sophie and Nathan's fragile mental state becomes ever more apparent.

1987 television film directed by Jack Gold

1942年3月，二十五岁的幼儿园老师玛格达和将近1000位年轻女性被送进了奥斯维辛集中营。在集中营里，纳粹很快就发现，透过让囚犯每天自主管理住宿区，甚至营地，就可以减少所需的守卫人数，同时，纳粹还可以利用这些“看守长”来转移外界对他们的注意力。
玛格达就是一个被推选为“看守长”的犹太囚犯。为了尽可能地挽救生命，同时避免过于“软弱可欺”，她游走在刀刃边缘般的危险界线，一边竭尽全力帮集中营的女性们度过难关，一边又与奥斯维辛最恶名昭彰的纳粹们建立了紧密的关系。她的故事为我们揭开了纳粹最鲜活的面目和集中营女性最真实的处境。
她的故事是在最残酷的生存条件下，对人性的脆弱、韧性和善良的深度探索。从集中营生还后，多年来玛格达一直保持沉默，直到临终前，她为这段不可思议的人生经历做了简短的纪录，并在2006年安详地辞世。经过她女儿玛雅·李耗费五年时间的整理和调查，并搜集了其他幸存者们的口述故事，这本令人震撼的传记得以问世。
