Die Lüge und der Tod (1988)
Directed by Walter Heynowski, Stephan Hermlin, Gerhard Scheumann
Documentary, TV Movie · 34m
Together with Stephan Hermlin, H&S examine two five-minute film documents in this film, which were shot in 1941 on behalf of the Gestapo. The comparison with a written eyewitness account exposes the first film - "about the dazzling supply of food to the Jews" - as a propaganda lie, while the second - made 14 days later - conveys a complex picture of the Nazi extermination bureaucracy.
