Von Richtern und anderen Sympathisanten

This documentary provides a critical examination of the Nazi judicial system, focusing on the Special Court of Oldenburg's severe sentences, including the case of a man sentenced to death for stealing two bars of soap. The film reveals that over 16,000 death sentences were issued during the Nazi regime, highlighting the grim reality of justice in that era.

Peggy Parnass, a Jewish journalist and relative of victims, offers a personal perspective on the aftermath of these judicial decisions. Her experiences as a court reporter for over a decade shed light on the re-emergence of judges and prosecutors from the Nazi period in post-war courts.

With its focus on historical injustices and their lasting impacts, this documentary serves as an important record of the ramifications of Nazi laws and the continuity of certain legal figures in German society. Collectors of documentary films may find its exploration of past atrocities and legal narratives particularly significant.
