Editorial Review:
Description
Seventy years after Hitler came to power has Germany learned to be a more tolerant nation that cares for the human rights and dignities of all people? A startling number of politicians, religious leaders and intellectuals fear the shocking answer may well be "no," and many predict that the days of the Fourth Reich are not a nightmare but a very real vision of the future. Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, a groundswell of intolerance grew out of the rubble of the Berlin Wall. The euphoric reunion of East and West, which was seen as heralding a brighter Europe, has led to dark storm clouds of discontent gathering over Germany.
In this hard-hitting and insightful television documentary, many prominent political observers express their views of the present and concerns for the future. They include Simon Wiesenthal, Hans Christian Kruger (Secretary General of the Commission on Human Rights of the Council of Europe), Dr. Manfred Schmidt (Head of the political science department of Heidelberg University), Dr. Dieter Wild (Der Spiegel magazine), Ignatz Bubis (former President of the Council of Jews in Germany), Mohammed Salim Abdullah (chief archivist for the Islam World Congress), the outspoken Johannes Duba (the Bishop of Fulda) and Wolfgang Utte (of the ultra right-wing Republikaner Party in Bavaria).
This thought-provoking program details alarming trends in religious suppression and personal freedoms. Extensively researched and filmed over several months on location in Germany, Austria and France, and based on original interviews, the show is presented by actor Robert Culp.
Although filmed nearly a decade ago, the lessons of this documentary bear repeating. History must never be allowed to repeat itself.
