Review by hmael

I have always been inquisitive about the WW2 and the Holocaust in particular. I have read few books and watched few movies such the The Reader, The Pianist, Schindler's List, etc but no documentary touches the moral question of Holocaust better like this documentary. Is he guilty or is he not? Was he the real Ivan the Terrible or was it the case of mistaken identity?

The interviews with the central players were fantastic. The lawyers, family members, and the witnesses gave their sides without fear. They gave their honest insights into the case. This trial contrasted so vividly with what the evil Nazi guards did to the prisoners. While it took less than two hours for the prisoners to go from arriving by trains to their death in the death factory, it took two trials in two different countries and over two decades to bring justice to Demnyanyuk.

I strongly recommend this documentary to all.
