The Accountant of Auschwitz is a gripping look at the race against time to prosecute the last living Nazi war criminals before it’s too late. In 2015, former German SS officer Oskar Gröning’s trial reflects not only one frail bookkeeper’s penitence, but the world’s responsibility to hold the worst of human horrors forever to public view. From Nuremberg to the new alt-right, The Accountant of Auschwitz constructs a stark reminder that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
The screening was followed by a discussion on “How the United Nations works to hold perpetrators accountable for crimes against humanity?” with:
- Ms. Catherine Marchi-Uhel, Head International Impartial Independent Mechanism Investigating Serious Crimes in Syria
- Mr. Nicholas Koumjian, Head of the Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar
