In an interview with Peter Huemer, Oscar-winning director Stefan Rozowitzky talks about the Holocaust, perpetrated by “ordinary men.”
Peter Huemer's conversation partner is director Stefan Rozowitzky, who was responsible for his concentration camp film »The counterfeiters« It won an Oscar in 2008. A few years after this feature film, Rozowitzky made a documentary about a particularly horrific crime in human history: the National Socialist mass shootings of Jewish men, women and children in Eastern Europe, which claimed the lives of some two million people in just a few years.
Rozovitzky's film “Radical Evil” tries to find out why »Totally normal guys“(According to historian Christopher Browning) they did. They didn’t have to be SS, they didn’t even have to be National Socialists – they were still killed. Why? And why did so few stand up against it – even if they didn’t have to take part in the killing? Rozowitzky and Huemer investigate these questions. And also ask what we can learn from it today.
