Overview

Ruth Beckermann documents the process of uncovering former UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheimโ€™s wartime past. It shows the swift succession of new allegations by the World Jewish Congress during his Austrian presidential campaign, the denial by the Austrian political class, the outbreak of anti-Semitism and patriotism, which finally led to his election.

Featured Comments/Tips

Kurt Waldheim represents postwar Europe that never finished accountable to Nazism. Denial, forgetfulness, the achievement of a peace based on hypocrisy. The documentary is absolutely ruthless in its portrayal of Austria as a country that never wanted to accept its active collaboration with Nazism ("Kurt Waldheim is the perfect president for Austria. But he is a disgrace"). Beckerman's gaze reminds us, in the present, of the mistakes of the past.
