After the Auschwitz Memorial tweeted that the Amazon show's portrayal of events was 'dangerous,' David Weil said he 'simply did not want to depict ... specific, real acts of trauma.'
In other words, you say: "a movie can lie about reality as it is just a movie'. Here we absolutely disagree. This is disrespectful and dangerous.Invent an non-existing camp and Nazi atrocities perpetrated there. If you however use a real place, respect it's history and suffering of its victims.We prefer a true story that will lead to a million truths. One should not create fake reality if the details about this reality are so well documented.
"It was the moment consecrated in time and memory that I sought to make good on doing my part — however big or however small — to ensure the promise of 'Never Again,'" Weil said in his statement. I believed then — as I do now — that I had a responsibility as the grandson of Holocaust survivors to keep their stories alive."by true events. But it is not documentary. And it was never purported to be.
"I didn't want one of our characters to have the number of a real victim or a real survivor, as I did not want to misrepresent a real person or borrow from a specific moment in an actual person's life," he said. "That was the responsibility that weighed on me every night and every morning for years, while writing, producing, editing this show. It is the thing I go to sleep thinking about and the thing I wake up working to honor.
