(JNS) Holocaust drama “The Zone of Interest” won the Grand Prix award at the 76th Cannes Film Festival on Saturday.
The film written and directed by 58-year-old British Jewish filmmaker Jonathan Glazer centers on the family of SS officer Rudolf Höss while he was the commandant of the Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp in Poland.
The story follows Höss and his wife, Hedwig, as they build their family life in a house and garden next to the camp where more than one million Jews and others were murdered.
