Die Lüge und der Tod 1988 on netflix

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.
