Benjamin Murmlestein, interviewed back in 1975 for the footage that would become this documentary, was the “Elder of the Jews” who ran model Jewish ghetto Theresienstadt for the Third Reich. Battling daily with Adolf Eichmann to save lives and improve conditions, was he also complicit in atrocity by collaborating with genocidal Germans? Master Holocaust chronicler Claude Lanzmann (Shoah) sets out to find out.

Sydney Morning Herald
Sydney Morning Herald"A powerful reflection on the beginning of Hitler's Final Solution is seen through the intelligent, sardonic eyes of an aged eyewitness."
