The Commandant's Shadow plot

"His father murdered more than a million Jews at Auschwitz. She survived the camp against all odds. 80 years later, they come face to face."

The Commandant's Shadow follows Hans Jürgen Höss, the 87-year-old son of Rudolf Höss, the infamous Auschwitz camp commander who orchestrated the murder of millions of Jews. The documentary focuses on two stories, one about Auschwitz survivor Anita Lasker-Wallfisch and the other about Höss, who looks back on his own youth. The two meet 80 years later in Anita's living room in London.

Rudolf Höss was responsible for building the killing machine in Auschwitz concentration camp and lived there with his wife and children during the war years. In this documentary, Volker speaks with daughter Brigitte and son Hans-Jürgen to find out their perspective on the events in Auschwitz. In The Zone Of Interest we see how those children were shielded as much as possible from what was happening and Brigitte and Hans-Jürgen remember their childhood as idyllic. 98-year-old Anita Laser-Wallfisch survived Auschwitz because she could play the cello. A nice addition for those who want to know more through The Zone Of Interest about how the systematic extermination of mainly Jews could take place and usefully supplemented with fragments from the autobiography that Rudolf Höss wrote while awaiting his trial.
