Monowitz – ein Tatort

Overview

The documentary examines the construction of the I.G. Farben factory in Monowitz, also known as I.G. Auschwitz, during World War II. The film follows various leads, including the memories of Dr. Hans Deichmann, the former representative for Italian workers. Interviews with survivors of the Buna/Monowitz concentration camp, a former Italian foreign worker, and Polish villagers offer a variety of perspectives. Despite its title, the film focuses not only on the 'crime scene Monowitz', but also on the masterminds and those responsible at the I.G. Farben corporation.
