Nazi Hunters: Film Recommendation

Post 1

I saw a film last night that blew me away. It's available on streaming. (I found it on Amazon Prime.) It's called 'Nazi Hunters' (Nazijaeger: Reise in die Finsternis), in German with English subtitles.

The story, which is true, is about Sigmund Freud's grandson, Walter Freud, and the British War Crimes Investigation Unit. They uncovered the murder of 20 children as part of a medical experiment carried out during the war. That's not the remarkable part.

The film is a wonder: not only do they reenact the crime and investigation, but they introduce us to two witnesses - sisters who were children in Auschwitz at the time. Their cousin Sergio, a six-year-old boy, was taken away for this experiment and was murdered in Hamburg. We meet them. They, and we, also get to meet the child actors who present the story. This is the best film on the subject I've ever seen.

If you get a chance to watch it, it's well worth your time.

I've just found the film available in 30-minute segments on the ARD page. I can't watch it there because it's not available in this area. If you're in Europe, you might be able to see it.
