The true story that inspired the Oscar-winning The Zone of Interest, The Commandants Shadow tells how, eight decades after Auschwitz, Hans Jurgen Hss and Anita Lasker Wallfisch both survivors in their very different ways come face to face, together with their children, to explore how the Holocaust has impacted all their lives. Its a historic moment, the first time the descendant of a major war criminal meets a survivor in such a private and intimate setting. Told through firsthand testimony, letters, personal and historical archive footage, this feature-length documentary is about a mother and daughter, a father and son, and the shadow cast down the generations. Raising questions about love, guilt and forgiveness, it is also a story of hope, acceptance and compassion.
