The Devil Next Door

What are people getting all crazy about ? It was a good documentary, very interesting.

This could be a 2-hour documentary, and would be much better.

I found this highly thought provoking. I didn't know the story beforehand and the directions it takes are remarkable. It doesn't hold back visually and is upsetting at times. I appreciate people have issues with historical mapping and association, however the national identities involved didn't occur to me. If viewed from a simple human perspective you'll find it eye-opening and it will leave you aghast with moral quandary. Highly recommended.

For those giving this doc a low rating based on their view that it is historically inaccurate...your review is inaccurate and you've missed the whole point. No where in this doc do they accuse the Polish of erecting and running the German built concentration camps on Polish soil. Further, that is not what this is about is it? It's about bringing an accused mass murderer to justice. I for one am perplexed by all the negativity.

Who's evil and how can we tell? Also does age make a difference? Should you be forgiving to someone who was evil when he was younger because he is frail and old now? There are a lot of questions here, mostly moral ones. But there is also the Question of authenticity or rather of identity.

Charging someone with a heavy accusation like that is not something to take lightly. You have to be very certain ... asking the neighbors is not really helping. We know that in a lot of cases evil man have been good citizens. You would not suspect them to have done vile things.

The documentary is very thorough and still might leave people wanting/yearning for more (clarity). Then again, life is not always clear. It's as simple as that, if you can accept that and take this for what it is, you will be glued to the screen and not really disappointed by what happens or doesn't happen ... True story
