Judges, prosecutors, defence lawyers

Erich Kulka, one of the main witnesses in the Auschwitz trial, observes and records the trial of the Auschwitz murderers in Frankfurt am Main in a reportage and factual form. He shows the path that led from euthanasia through genocide to the death factory in Auschwitz. He describes in detail the layout of the concentration camp, the inhumane treatment of the prisoners and their mass killings. He meticulously reproduces the incriminating witness testimonies that reveal the shocking crimes of the SS men, and depicts portraits of the criminals on trial as well as the attitudes of the judges and defence lawyers.
