In 2015\, when he took the stand at the age of 94\, his trial made headlines worldwide. The debate around his prosecution is at the centre of this historic yet contemporary look at justice. As survivors travel to Germany to testify\, the heinous acts of the Holocaust remain vivid and traumatic. For some\, there is no grey area: Gröning was witness and therefore complicit\, regardless of his duty to follow orders. Others look at a frail man in the last years of his life and see no reason to pursue charges. The act of bringing war criminals to justice with no statute of limitations\, asks fundamental moral questions with few simple answers. From Nuremberg to the new alt-right\, The Accountant of Auschwitz constructs a stark reminder that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. \nNOMINATED –\nAudience Award – Top 20 Audience Favourites\, Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival\, 2018 \n
