Reckonings plot

The Holocaust was a genocide of unprecedented magnitude, the scars of which are still visible. Systematically nearly six million Jews were murdered. Yet as early as six years after 1945, when World War II came to an end, attempts were made to reconcile the Germans and the Jews. In secret, leaders of both nations meet to look each other in the eye and agree on the first-ever reparations in our history. A reconstruction of the genesis of the most bizarre reparations ever.

In 1952, the government of West Germany and representatives of Israel and of the Jewish world community signed an agreement setting out the method of material compensation for Jewish survivors of the Holocaust. Konrad Adenauer wanted a “Wiedergutmachung Agreement” and the use of that term is one of the many reasons why there was considerable resistance within the Jewish community to talks about such an agreement. This documentary explains the various reasons for this and examines how we finally managed to reach an agreement. The fact that the negotiations took place in Wassenaar makes this even more interesting for Dutch viewers, even though Grossman opts for the routine form of talking heads and archive footage.

Especially interesting for those who have a thing for diplomacy and political-legal crafts. Because even though it is not an insignificant event, in terms of drama this agreement is quite in the shadow of WWII and the Holocaust.

I thought the most striking thing was that we owe the term 'wiedergutmachung' to this, or at least that's what I assume.
