Their particularity: all were SS during the war and served in a Nazi camp set up next to the Polish village Owiêcim, in German 'Auschwitz'. In front of them, nearly 360 witnesses, including 211 Auschwitz survivors. In a Germany hostile to the truth, they will for the first time confront the country with the crimes of its past and reveal to the world the horror of Auschwitz.
