Gripping

Warning: Spoilers
One of the few documentaries that gives a view of life of Germans living in Nazi Germany.

There are interviews with several individuals. Many acknowledge their past - and some are in denial or minimize the atrocities that occurred.

There is an interesting interview with a group of women who at first claimed not to know of a nearby concentration camp - but the more they spoke, the more it became apparent that they knew everything - the starvation and the brutality - and the deaths.

This film demonstrates that many Germans knew of the atrocities and racism of their regime - they saw it in their cities, villages, and on their railroads.

This is a powerful film and gripping from beginning to end.

Obviously, some of those interviewed wanted to make a final confession.
