58m 2022 Germany

Six million Jews perished during World War II, victims of extermination camps and the Einsatzgruppen's mobile death squads. Ordinary men, serving in police battalions, executed horrifying acts of violence against innocent men, women, and children with chilling regularity, often treating their actions as routine work. This documentary uncovers the identities of these perpetrators and delves into the psychological and societal factors that enabled them to commit such atrocities, shedding light on a dark chapter of history that remains largely overlooked. The exploration raises profound questions about morality and humanity.
