Strengt Hemmelig (2010)

Strengt Hemmelig plot

"Every family has a dark secret," said Norwegian filmmaker Benedicte Orvung, who then reveals her own family secret. For this she goes back to the Second World War, by sometimes letting very old eyewitnesses tell their story. The central figure is her grandfather's brother, Karl Marthinsen, who during the German occupation as head of the State Police passed for 'Norway's most dangerous man' and was liquidated by the resistance. Some testimonials are very poignant. Orvung's mother tells how she played with her uncle's loaded revolver. An Auschwitz survivor tells how he was inclined to view a group of newly arrived Hungarian Jews as a load of cattle. An ex-policeman justifies his role in the execution of twenty-eight innocent civilians, which was carried out in retaliation for the attack on Marthinsen. Silent Witness is a paper document drenched in Marthinsen's dried blood.
