Eventually, they found another derelict house that was a mirror image of Hoss’s, just a hundred meters away, but with the same striking geography, right up against a wall of Auschwitz. Production designer Chris Oddy essentially rebuilt the house and re-created Hedwig’s lush garden, where they had family gatherings while the smoke of the crematorium billowed just beyond.
From the start, Glazer knew he wanted to make something that looked like no other Holocaust film. “From everything from lessons at school to ‘Schindler’s List,’ there is a kind of understanding of the imagery and I certainly don’t want to repeat that,” he said.
