Plot
In October 1944, Saul Ausländer (Géza Röhrig ), a Hungarian-Jewish prisoner in Auschwitz works as a
Sonderkommando member, burning the dead. One day, he finds the body of a boy he takes for his son. He tries to salvage the body from the flames, and find a rabbi to arrange a clandestine burial. Meanwhile other members of the Sonderkommando learn about their impending extermination, rise up and destroy the crematorium . Saul keeps focused on his own plan to pay the last honours to a son he never could take care of before.
