plot synopsis:
This documentary deals with the deeds of the war criminal Alois Brunner, the helping hand of Adolf Eichmann, who wasn't blamed during the trials in Nuremberg and denies his guilt until today. Already in 1938 his career in the party as a specialist for the persecution of Jews began. Brunner became the friend and best man of Eichmann when problems during the deportations came up. About 120.000 Jews were transported into camps because of Brunners order. But the war criminal Brunner is not blamed after the war because of good connections. In 1985 he still brags about his deeds. This documentary shows the delay of the criminal prosecution, blows the cover of helping hands of Brunner and shows where the criminal lives today.
