It took German justice more than half a century to address Nazi crimes. With the Frankfurt Auschwitz Trial in 1963, attorney General Fritz Bauer laid the foundation for prosecuting the “small cogs” in the machinery of the industrialized mass murder of the Nazi era. And yet such trials or even convictions were almost impossible for decades. The film asks why today elderly defendants stand before youth courts and why it took so long for justice to be done in German courts. (Jens Geiger-Kiran)
