Ja, den var mkt bra. Bra skådespelare och manus. F.ö. så har den en viss historisk bakgrund, då jag någonstans läst att en tysk SS-officer avslöjat morden på judar för en svensk ambassadanställd i Berlin.

Angående den svenska ambassadanställde:

On the night of August 21-22, 1942, on his way back to Germany, Kurt Gerstein travelled by train from Warsaw to Berlin and accidently encountered the Secretary to the Swedish Legation in Berlin, Baron Göran von Otter.

Less than an hour from Warsaw, the train stopped in open country. "We both got down to get a breath of air," von Otter later recalled. "There were beads of sweat on his forehead. There were tears in his eyes. And his voice was hoarse when he said at once: I saw something awful yesterday - can I come and see you at the Legation?" Von Otter suggested that they talk on the train. Gerstein agreed. "Is it the Jews?" von Otter asked. "Yes, it is," Gerstein replied. "I saw more than ten thousand die today."

In a feverish conversation lasting hours, Gerstein poured out the whole story, crying and smoking incessantly. He related all he had just seen to the Swedish diplomat and begged him to tell the Swedish government about the atrocities in the camps. He desperately urged von Otter to make it known to the Allies and the outside world.

Von Otter later described the encounter: "It was hard to get Gerstein to keep his voice down. We stood there together, all night, some six hours or maybe eight. And again and again, Gerstein kept on recalling what he had seen. He sobbed and hid his face in his hands. From the very beginning as Gerstein described the atrocities, weeping and broken hearted, I had no doubt as to the sincerity of his humanitarian intentions."

2 hrs. 10 min. This is the story of the attempts by a Nazi SS Officer, Lieutenant Kurt Gerstein (Tukur) in 1942, to inform Pope Pious XII about the extermination of Jewish prisoners in Holocaust concentration camps, aided by a young Jesuit priest (Kassovitz), after he discovers that the gas he helped perfect, Zyklon B (which he thought was to be used to fumigate German barracks), was being used to kill people. Can Gerstein convince the Pope to issue a global message to Christians the world over about the atrocities being committed by the Nazis in time to stop millions more from being killed?
