Summary:
Nazism, a powerful totalitarian apparatus that stigmatized humanity with genocide in concentration camps, using the means of industry. The Vatican, the ultimate symbol of religious and political power, refuses to denounce the genocide for fear of a break with the Nazis. A film about the Holocaust that provoked violent reactions in the new millennium with its denunciation of the historical responsibility of ecclesiastical and diplomatic circles.
