The Commandant’s Shadow
We witness the moment when, 70 years after the end of the Nazi regime, the son of the commandant of Auschwitz meets a survivor. Daniela Völker's documentary film comes at just the right time. The film follows Hans Jürgen Höss, the 87-year-old son of Rudolf Höss, as he confronts his father's terrible legacy. His father was the camp commandant of the Auschwitz concentration camp. While Hans enjoyed a happy childhood in the family villa, Anita tried to survive the concentration camp. The film focuses on the historical moment when the two meet.
