I read reviews before watching. One uneducated review complains that it is not factually correct and cites that Mengele did not do experiments on homosexuals. It seems that person did not pay attention to the story as Mengele does not feature in the series. Dr Schumann does, however, feature and he certainly did do them there.
This is a story that is hard to watch because it is so sad and brutal yet laced with a heartwarming fight for survival because of the strong power of love between two people. It made me question what would I do in their place (and not just the main two characters, but all of them, if it were me. I couldn't answer, no one can. The series shows both the beautiful side of human nature and the extremely ugly side also. It was very thought provoking. The actors play their parts very well and are to be commended in portraying the helplessness, the aggression, and the vulnerability in what is one of the worst places ever to exist in history.
