A young lawyer hears his pleas but doesn't know what he can do. A Jew, whose children were experimented upon, demands to be heard but is ignored by the legal system. In 1958, the German people had very little knowledge of the death camps of World War II. Reviewed by Hitchcoc 8 / 10 Sometimes We Need to Look Within Ourselves It is very moving in places and features some truly excellent performances especially Fehling and his love interest Friedrike Becht ('Hannah Arendt')who plays Marlene – it is in German with very good subtitles and runs for 123 minutes and is one that is very easy to recommend indeed. It does not sugar coat what took place but is also not horrific in terms of the graphic abuse that sadly occurred, especially at the hands of Mengele and co. This is an extremely well made film, the story is completely gripping and I loved the period detail too. We also have his personal life and that of those around him and who are swept up in the investigation.
What follows are the travails he and his friends go through in order to do something, try to build a case and wake the German people from their wilful apathy towards the war. The problem is that Germany seems to not want to rake over the coals of the past and there are former Nazi's everywhere who just don't care. He encounters a survivor of Auschwitz and a journalist who want to bring the perpetrators of the atrocities that took place there to trial.

Reviewed by t-dooley-69-386916 8 / 10 Superb German film on the man who put the Nazi's on trial for Auschwitzīased on the true story of a young Public Prosecutor from Frankfurt named Johann Radmann (Alexander Fehling – 'Inglorious Basterds').
Even if the road to awareness will be long and rocky.
But where are the Nazis? Who has ever heard of the death camps? It looks as if everything is for the best in the best of all possible worlds in this land of milk and honey - At least, until the day journalist Thomas Gnielka reports on the recognition by a German-Jewish artist of a local schoolteacher, a former guard at the Auschwitz concentration camp - At least, until Johann Radmann, a young prosecutor, decides to investigate the case - Nobody knows it yet but this is the dawn of a new era. The war has been over for thirteen years and the Federal Republic of Germany is not only recovering but even booming.
