Amen (2002)
Newly commissioned SS Lieutenant and respected civilian chemist, Kurt Gerstein, discovers that the Zyklon B pellets he has developed to disinfect soldiers' drinking water are being used to gas interred Jews by the thousands. Recruited to help streamline the death camp process by a team of SS officers, Gerstein secretly approaches the Swedish Consulate, the German Protestant community and finally Vatican representatives in the hopes of exposing this unspeakable crime.

a film with great potential. visually compelling, with fantastic locations and a strong, capable cast. ultimately though, it felt too simplistic. i wanted to see the the two leads struggle with themselves and their morality vs. mortality, but they were standing on figurative milk boxes for the whole film. there was no room for growth, change or thematic exploration. everything this film had to say, it preached from the first shot.

Suffers from some redundant scenes, but nevertheless a realistic and harrowing account of how the Catholic church, though well-aware of the holocaust and possessing the power to save lives, chose not to lift a finger.

Definitive critic to Catolicism and its no action on Holocaust, Pope has been fear of Nazism and do nothing for jews.

Another movie about Holocaust. But this time it involves church and its role for accepting massacre. Costa-Cavras has done very good job to make this movie watchable even if the topic is overused. Also Ulrich Tukur is just great.
