Film screenings & Events


The film "Die Ermittlung" is not a one-time cultural event but was created for timeless use in the fields of remembrance and educational work. Its versatility ranges from film screenings in cinemas or school auditoriums to the use of individual episodes, as both the play and the film are divided into eleven cantos.

This structure allows for breaks that can be used to explore the educational and historical context through discussions, reflection, and relevance to the current state of the world. The cantos, each lasting between 10 and 30 minutes and addressing specific "sections" of the camp and the extermination of people, also cover specialized topics such as command and obedience or corporate responsibility.
