AMEN Movie Trailer

AMEN Trailer (2002) - Oscar-winner Costa-Gavras' story of a renegade Nazi chemist who took on the Catholic Church. A little background: In 1942 Kurt Gerstein was an SS-Untersturmfuhrer in charge of Heinrich Himmler's Technical Disinfection Department of the Waffen-SS. In June of 1942, Gerstein was ordered by SS-Sturmbannfuhrer Rolf Gunther of the Reich Security Main Office to deliver 220 pounds of Zyklon-B to an unknown destination. On August 19, 1942, Gerstein arrived at Belzec concentration camp in Poland where he witnessed the gassing of 6,700 Jews. As a Protestant, Gerstein was shocked by what he had witnessed at the three camps he eventually inspected (Majdanek, Belzec, and Treblinka). It is said that after witnessing these gassings at Belzec, Gerstein buried the Zyklon-B canisters that he was detailed to deliver to the extermination camps. Gerstein later met Swedish diplomat Baron Goran von Otter and told all. Von Otter made a detailed report of his conversation with the SS officer and sent it to his superiors. They did nothing. Gerstein later attempted to contact the Legation of the Holy See but was denied access as he was a soldier. Gerstein continued to inform religious and diplomatic officials about the details and magnitude of the atrocities taking place in Poland. Very few listened. "Amen" is a French film about Kurt Gerstein's attempt to expose the Holocaust to the world through Pope Pius XII and the Vatican. In July 1945, Gerstein was found hanging in his French prison cell from a makeshift noose. It is commonly thought that Gerstein died by suicide, but it is very possible that he was murdered by fellow SS officers in an attempt to cover up their crimes. I have posted this trailer as I am sick of the anti-Jewish remarks made by neo-Nazis and Holocaust 'revisionists', who deny the greatest known mass murder of all time on pathetic racist and anti-Semitic grounds. "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing" - Edmund Burke
