Final Account

Synopsis

Filmed over the course of ten years, Final Account is an urgent portrait of the last living generation of everyday people to participate in Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich.

Final Account raises vital, timely questions about authority, conformity, complicity and perpetration, national identity, and responsibility, as men and women ranging from former SS members to civilians in never-before-seen interviews reckon with – in very different ways – their memories, perceptions and personal appraisals of their own roles in the greatest human crimes in history.
