The museum of the Auschwitz death camp objected to a scene in the Amazon series 'Hunters' that is not historically accurate. The co-creator of the series said the fictional scene was meant to showcase the sadism and violence perpetrated by the Nazis.

The series’ creator, David Weil stressed in a statement it was not a documentary but a narrative with largely fictional characters. As a grandson of Holocaust survivors, Weil said he was careful not to “misrepresent a real person or borrow from a specific moment in an actual person’s life.” “If anyone wants to show human tragedy in Auschwitz it is enough to reach for the thousands of sources that are deeply shocking, but creating fiction that distorts the history of this real place is disrespectful of the people who suffered here,” Sawicki told The Associated Press.
