The viewer must watch this movie from the beginning. If you don't, you will not understand the legal, emotional and social implications Historians have of reporting the truth about Hitler's ethnocentric values of genocide. Antisemitism is on the rise and History must never be denied or falsified to justify killing people en masse due to hatred. Brilliant movie that needs lots of focus to understand two different legal systems. Raw, emotional and powerful.

Simply tried to hard to tell a story we have had pushed at us time and time again.

Superb... gripping, beautifully acted and produced as only the BBC can. Should be compulsory material in every school history curriculum.
