for sure an important piece within the holocaust puzzle 
those who "know" auschwitz from several books and documentations know that several things in that film are not like they were in reality. but this is not important.
the story of gisela perl - a jewish hungarian doctor in auschwitz during ww2 - is told. and it's done well! it was sad to see the US authorities' skepticism she was exposed to during her interrogation, when she applied to work as a doctor in the states and was seeking american citizenship. they even accused her to have collaborated with dr. Mengele because of her work as camp doctor. they couldn't understand that auschwitz was an independent world within the known world, with its own laws and with only one rule: to survive - no matter the cost.

Mesmerizing 
I have studied the Holocaust for many years and this is one of the best movies I've seen. Out of the Ashes is a true story of Dr. Gisella Perl, a gynecologist who was sent to Auschwitz and forced to work along side Dr. Josef Mengele, the most vicious of all the doctors of death. You can absolutely feel Dr. Perl's pain all through this movie and Christine Lahti does an absolutely wonderful job portraying her. This movie will move you beyond words, truly it will. To think that one human being devised so much hate as to destroy so many precious people. This is not one movie I will soon forget. Dr. Perl wrote a book detailing her experiences but it is not very available and the copies that are available are priced almost beyond reach. This movie is one you should see so as not to forget there are people in the world who hate so much and that we should never become like them.

A double tragedy...
"Out of the Ashes" is a gripping true story of a Jewish female obstetrician who survived the Holocaust, and saved the lives of hundreds of female prisoners, only to be savaged when she finally emigrated to the United States by both a bureaucratic system and latent anti-semitism among the commissioners who reviewed her application for citizenship to enable her to practice here. Difficult to watch at times due to content, despite the fact that it won an Oscar for cinematography, the truth is often tough to swallow. It is the story of a woman who became a doctor over parental objections, who aborted hundreds of women to save them from Nazi extermination, and who survived only to be savaged when she finally made it to the U.S.
