“The Last Days” is a documentary, made by Steven Spielberg and released in 1998; the film won an Academy Award in 1999. A book about the documentary was published in 1999, with the same title. In 1998, I was just starting to study the Holocaust and I loved the documentary, which I assumed was the gospel truth. I bought two copies of the book, one to read, and one to preserve in pristine condition in my home library. The book is great; it has lots of good photos of the Holocaust. As I began to study the Holocaust, I gradually learned that the documentary and the book entitled “The Last Days” are both fictional. That doesn’t mean that “The Last Days” should be withdrawn because it is a fraud, but it should be reclassified as fiction and advertised as fiction.
