The Accountant of Auschwitz is a documentary film that explores the life of Oskar Grรถning, a former SS officer who served at the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II. Grรถning was responsible for counting money confiscated from prisoners at the camp and eventually became known as the "Accountant of Auschwitz."
In 2015, Grรถning was put on trial in Germany and charged with 300,000 counts of accessory to murder. The trial made international headlines and brought attention to the ongoing effort to hold accountable those who participated in the atrocities committed during the Holocaust.
The documentary uses archival footage and interviews with historians and legal experts to examine Grรถning's role in the Holocaust, as well as the larger issues surrounding the prosecution of former Nazis decades after the end of World War II. It also includes interviews with survivors and their families, who share their experiences and thoughts on the trial.
The Accountant of Auschwitz is a thought-provoking and emotional film that raises important questions about justice, accountability, and the legacy of the Holocaust.
