2010Fritz Bauer – Death by Installments
Documentary film about the Hessian Attorney General and initiator of the Frankfurt Auschwitz trial Dr. Fritz Bauer. Underpinned by excerpts from a television program in which Bauer denounces the failures of the young Federal Republic in the 1960s to come to terms with the Nazi past, Bauer's life unfolds in a skilful montage of archive images and testimonies from companions, especially his involvement in the investigation of Nazi crimes. At the same time, it is an oppressive portrait of the Adenauer era.
