Introduction by Professor Frank Stern, Vienna University.
With thanks to the Cardinal Franz König Chair in Austrian Studies and Center for Austrian Studies, Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Graz, Austria 1963. Franz Murer, a well-respected local politician and land owner is on trial. He is accused of having committed war crimes in the Vilnius ghetto between 1941-1943. Survivors arrive from around the world and leave little doubt as to Murer’s guilt. The Ministry of Justice eventually reaches a decision. The result is one of the greatest scandals of the Austrian justice system - and a timeless, shattering example of political calculation. The film is based on the original documents of the case and weighs the eternal struggle between truth, justice, and political interests.
