UWE BOLL USING NAZI GOLD TO RESURRECT AUSCHWITZ
September 7 2010
Berlin, Germany – There is perhaps no word, no phrase, that describes the horrors that occurred during the Holocaust than Auschwitz. That word is, quite rightly, the near personification of pure evil, a word that evokes horrors more profound than 
anything the devil ever dreamt. As a result of that the small town of Oświęcim (German: Auschwitz), a sleepy Polish city founded 900 years ago, has been forever blighted with the curse of Nazi horror and permanently stained with the ash of over a million people burned in the furnaces just outside the city’s borders.
There has never been, and likely never will be, such a concentration of human suffering in one small place. It is a place that will be remembered forever, a spook story told to children, and a touchstone for those who oppose political radicalism and bigotry. Because of that status the location has become a shrine, a reminder of what man is capable of doing to man, largely untouched by the modern world. In essence, it has become Holy ground. That of course means it is perfect fodder for a motion picture, which is exactly what shlock director Uwe Boll has thought. The director of such reviled classics as ‘Postal’ and ‘Bloodrayne’, Boll has pooled his considerable financial resources to finally put the Auschwitz experience on the big screen.
“It's in the tradition of my movies Stoic, Darfur, Rampage, Tunnel Rats, Heart of America...it shows Auschwitz as what it was: a meat plant for humans...a death factory. This was the kind of experience that no one can understand and everyone should understand and I believe it is best that it is brought to modern audiences through the most popular medium of the time,” said Boll. “I believe as well that it is only a German such as myself that can bring this type of experience to the modern audience. Because it was something of our creation it is also something that we understand, without feeling and without prejudice. This is the horror of Auschwitz.”
No release date has been issued but a disturbing trailer featuring Boll himself as a prison guard has surfaced. 
“Uwe Boll hasn’t just made bad movies in the past, he has made horrible movies. Execrable really, movies hardly worth the plastic they are pressed on. He has become the butt of many jokes and the movies haven’t apparently done all that well financially yet he has been able to continue to make them without anyone deciding to put a stop to his actions. This however, like it was for Germans of the past, may be the final straw,” said Scrape TV Entertainment analyst Tracey Temple. “Poland was the bane for the Nazi regime and in the end was the undoing of everything which is perhaps why they put the only industrialized human slaughter house in history in that country. They wanted some measure of revenge but it has now become their legacy.”
The real camp was liberated by Soviet soldiers on January 27, 1945 which has been the speculated release date for the film.
“I mean I suppose it makes sense that a German is resurrecting Auschwitz but one has to wonder where he is getting the money to do all of this. There are so many hungry filmmakers out there with a real vision that are struggling to scrape together money to get anything made and Boll keeps getting mystery money, it’s really a mystery,” continued Temple. “It might be going a little too far to suggest that he’s using Nazi gold to finance his projects but in the end who really cares. I mean if he is then he deserves the criticism and if not, oh well. I have to say though that I am about as excited by this prospect as everyone else, I mean the Jews have suffered enough, haven’t they?”
Boll was mum on speculation that like many of his other films this new one is based on a videogame.
