What is Auschwitz

Chief Justice Bauer said: "Everyone who was involved in Auschwitz, all those who didn't say "no", they were Auschwitz.

In the 1960s, West Germany was also filled with jazz and Pepsi. People under the prosperity and revival kept silent to the darkness and ugliness of 10 years ago. Many young people even thought what Auschwitz was. Never heard of it - silence, avoidance is also a terrible force.

If a crime investigation turns up one of the most secretive parts of this country's history, is inextricably linked to almost everyone, and even makes people wonder what ugly things their fathers did, then what? Have the courage to execute? The Germans did it again, and this is the "Frankfurt Trials" ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_Auschwitz_Trials ). In this respect, it is an admirably great nation.

As far as the profound theme is concerned, the story of the film itself is a bit flat, but the clothes designed by the young prosecutor and the Bauhaus-style furniture and decoration make people's eyes shine.

What exactly is Auschwitz? I can't help but think of going to Auschwitz a year ago and seeing those piles of shoes, hair, jars of its clone B, crematorium and photos of martyrs... At that time, I seemed to feel more of a kind of Almost suffocating repression - how can people do such cruel things to their fellows at some point.

Now that I have watched this film, I realize more clearly that Auschwitz not only makes people remember and reflect, but also reminds us that we should not remain silent about mistakes and ugliness; just as the actor Radmann said: The only answer is to do the right thing yourself.

    It is not only the Nazis in Auschwitz who should be brought to trial, but also the history that needs to be warned but buried in silence. The story behind the Frankfurt trial.

    The film is average, but I give it four stars for daring to face its own dark history from top to bottom. On the other hand, look at yourself, laugh at yourself, what about us? ?

Labyrinth of Lies quotes

  • Generalstaatsanwalt Fritz Bauer: If you think this is all about who's guilty, partly guilty or innocent, then you've learned nothing, nothing at all.

  • Johann Radmann: [reads from record of interrogation] A small boy, about 5 years old, jumped off the truck. He was holding an apple. Boger was standing at the door. The boy stood beside the truck and was so happy about the apple. Boger went up to the boy, grabbed him by the feet, and smashed his head against the wall. Then Boger picked up the apple and told me to clean up the mess on the wall. And then Boger ate the apple. - Everyday life in Auschwitz.
