地點：特萊西恩施塔特，一個獨特的被阿道夫·艾希曼稱為“模范集中營”而宣傳的地方，隱藏著其真實面目——毒氣室前的最后一步而誤導著世界和猶太人民。一個男人：本杰明·穆勒斯坦因，特萊西恩施塔特猶太議會的最后一任主席，被流放的落難英雄，從1938年至戰爭結束期間被迫與艾希曼日復一日地談判，而到了艾希曼被審判之日卻甚至沒有被傳喚作證，盡管他無疑是最了解這位納粹死刑執行者的人。距離《浩劫》超過二十五年，克勞德·朗茲曼的新作展現了納粹大屠殺鮮為人知卻意義重大的一面，并前所未有地揭示了“最終方案”的起源。 　　A place: Theresienstadt. A unique place of propaganda which Adolf Eichmann called the "model ghetto", designed to mislead the world and Jewish people regarding its real nature, to be the last step before the gas chamber. A man: Benjamin Murmelstein, last president of the Theresienstadt Jewish Council, a fallen hero condemned to exile, who was forced to negotiate day after day from 1938 until the end of the war with Eichmann, to whose trial Murmelstein wasnt even called to testify. Even though he was without a doubt the one who knew the Nazi executioner best. More than twenty-five years after Shoah, Claude Lanzmanns new film reveals a little-known yet fundamental aspect of the Holocaust, and sheds light on the origins of the "Final Solution" like never before.
