In 1985, French documentary filmmaker Claude Lanzmann (LAHNZ-mahn) released his film "Shoah," about the Nazi attempt to exterminate the Jews of Europe. It’s a four-part movie, with a total length of nine and a half hours. "Shoah" is now being re-released in America for the first time in 25 years, and Colorado Public Radio film critic Howie Movshovitz says it's one of the greatest documentaries ever made.
