Auschwitz prisoners, both Jewish and non-Jewish, were tattooed with serial numbers on their chests and left arms. An estimated 400,000 numbers were tattooed in Auschwitz and its sub-camps, with only a few thousand survivors still alive today. The film NUMBERED is a cinematic journey guided by survivor testimonies and portraits, documenting the dark time and setting of the tattoos and their meaning in the years following the war. The film's protagonist is the number itself, evolving from a personal to a collective symbol from 1940 to today.
