All of these experiences and influences intersected to bring Kadár and Klos their enduring success with "The Shop on Main Street" ("Obchod na korze", 1965), a compassionate and tormenting depiction of the dead-end street faced by many in Central Europe during the deportations of the Jews to German concentration camps during World War II. The film received several awards, including a foreign-language Oscar. Slovak and Czech film academics and critics still consider it the best film in the history of Slovak cinema.
