the film contains several scenes depicting nudity in a non-sexual context. Nudity is shown in scenes where Jewish prisoners are forced to strip naked or dead bodies are removed from the gas chambers. The scenes contain clear depictions of both male and female frontal nudity, with genitals visible.
The full frontal nudity depicted with moderate detail here is justified by context, and not excessive.
