Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Kapo is a 1960 film from Italy, directed by Gillo Pontecorvo.It is a drama of the Holocaust. Edith (Susan Strasberg) is a 14-year-old Jewish girl in Paris during the Nazi occupation, one from a family prosperous enough to get her private piano lessons even after she has to wear a Jewish star on her coat. Edith naively thinks that she and her family are safe, but goes home one day to find her parents getting hauled into a Nazi truck. She makes the reckless decision to go with them, and shortly finds herself in Auschwitz.Her parents are gassed soon after arrival, but with some luck and the intervention of a kindly prison doctor, Edith escapes the death chambers. She assumes the non-Jewish identity of a common criminal named Nicole, and gets sent to a different slave labor camp. Conditions are hardly better, though. Starvation and desperation lead Edith/Nicole to shed her humanity. First she offers herself in sexual service to the SS guards. Later, she becomes a "kapo", i.e. a camp trusty guarding prisoners, and in that role becomes just as brutal as her Nazi masters.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Breaking Speech: Teresa, a political prisoner, takes Nicole under her wing. At one point she tells Nicole to wash when given the chance, as it's important for the prisoners to maintain their humanity. Later, when she's put on half rations for three months, which is nothing less than a sentence to slowly starve to death, Teresa breaks down and steals another prisoner's bread. Nicole gives her a spiteful little speech about how her ideals were nonsense. Teresa promptly kills herself by running into the electrified fence. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Nicole dies in the breakout, but dies redeemed, and reclaims her Jewish identity by reciting the "Shema Yisrael" prayer. Many of the prisoners are shot and killed in the mass breakout, but some do manage to escape to the forest. Sasha does not make a break for it, staying right in the yard. He actually emerges unscathed from the shooting and chaos, but he is left alone in despair. | |
