Imagining Holocaust survivors confronting ageing Nazi death camp proprietors, while the Third Reich is still in power, may be the only way to fully understand Oppenheimer’s film.

A powerfully dramatic doc. The guy interviewing the monsters responsible for killing his brothers, who represents our disbelief and disgust, gives the audience a strong hook. Cudos to him for being able to go through with it.
