“Deeply chilling” historical drama that’s “impossible to forget” is a must-see on TV tonight

Okay, so this movie is seriously messed up, but fascinating. It follows a family – a Nazi officer and his wife and kids – who are living what seems like a perfect, idyllic life in a nice house. The crazy thing is, they live right next to Auschwitz. Like, they’re trying to build this dream home and raise their kids while, just over the fence, unimaginable horrors are happening. It’s about their everyday life and how they completely ignore, or try to, what’s going on around them. It’s a really unsettling concept, seeing that contrast.
