The high life of the totally inured to suffering is on display for all to witness. Rudolph Hoss' family lives on the "other side" of the big wall where constant inhumanity thrives. This film is a frightening portrait of those who benefitted from believing in and supporting their regime by removing all awareness and guilt from their lives while enjoying the privileges of rank. The film slowly builds its sense of inhumanity without once crossing over the fences. All we see are billowing smokestacks and the roof of the rail entrance gate of Auschwitz.
This film lives on context.
