The doc also manages to have, at times, an intensely gripping quality, as Holocaust survivors face Groning and their vivid accounts clash with the banalities of his work that the mild-mannered old man describes.

3.5/4

The film tracks the evolution of international law over the decades, which eventually allowed authorities to make the case against people like Groening, hiding in plain sight for 70 years.

Justice comes late to WWII Nazi at German trial; violence.

Packs a lot of history and unhappily relevant moral issues into its swift 75 minutes.

4/5

Despite the film's 78-minute duration, The Accountant of Auschwitz finds time to take some fascinating detours.

Triste documentário, já sabia que passaria raiva, a impunidade demonstrada durante todo documentário é de enraivecer, e como bem foi relatado, cada pátria carrega sua própria carga de culpa por atrocidades do passado, o nosso, bem como dos EUA é a escravidão (complementando com a dizimação dos povos indígenas), a condenação, apesar de tardia, é representativa, dos 600k de soldados, apenas 124 foram presos e condenados, ínfimo, mas os tribunais incomodavam, uma vez que juízes também eram nazistas

É um bom documentário, porém fala algumas mentiras e enrola bastante tempo para somente no final contar o real objetivo do documentário.

This documentary does not fairly portray the events around the Groening trial. In particular they do not acknowledge that the reason he came to light and was eventually charged was because he spoke out against the Holocaust denial movement. They portray him as remorseless when in fact he showed great remorse. Propaganda should remain a tool of the Nazis, not a tool used by the side of righteousness.

Excellent documentary, well-balanced and very sensitive to the ethical issues raised by trying someone for what happened 70 years ago.
