    Hello.
    I need to get a detailed look inside Auschwitz-ll and get to know more about how the prisoners lived. I am making a comic and I need a lot of VISUAL details above all, how did they eat, how they sleep, how were they tortured and how were they treated in general. Could you provide me with the names of the most informative documentaries/movies that can help me visualize Auschwitz from the inside in order to replicate it on my comic.
    Thank you for your help

    Not really an answer to the OP's need, but a I found the German language film "A Labyrinth of Lies" (original title: Im Labyrinth des Schweigens ) to be a great movie. About the post war period's attitude towards War Crimes in general and specifically at Auschwitz in Western Germany.

    The Polish 1963 movie Passenger, available on YouTube (with cc) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7f1Jt5bDPd0, filmed in Auschwitz-Birkenau.

    Passenger, using the form of a documentary, relates the experiences of one female SS officer at the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II and her relationship with an inmate, Marta, whose life she manages to save on occasion.
