An interdisciplinary advisory group, led by Prof. Andrea Löw from the German Institute for Contemporary History, has developed the materials accompanying the film for versatile use in both formal and informal education.

The other experts include Dr. Fabian Bernhardt (Freie Universität Berlin), Dr. Markus Roth (Fritz Bauer Institute), Adam Kerpel-Fronius (Foundation Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe), Dr. Thomas Volkmann (Friedrich Naumann Foundation), and Iris Scherer (Manfred-von-Ardenne-Gymnasium). The supplementary material is available in multiple languages.


Background

Education does not only take place in traditional institutions such as schools, adult education centers, and universities but also within families, associations, communities, and churches. There are now very few Holocaust survivors left, and with them, the living testimonies of that time are being lost. Testimonies from survivors, conversations with Holocaust witnesses, and personal encounters with victims of National Socialism play a crucial role in our work of remembrance and education, alongside contemporary historical research and its dissemination.

Die Ermittlung

Making of


After an intensive four-week rehearsal period, 60 actors brought Peter Weiss's text to life on the big screen. Over the course of five shooting days, the individual cantos were filmed at Studio Berlin Adlershof using a sophisticated visual concept, captured in a single take by a total of eight cameras.
