Synopsis

Fifty years after the war Dagmar Ostermann, a former prisoner at Auschwitz-Birkenau, and Hans
Wilhelm Muinch, former Nazi and SS physician, talk face to face.

In this rare interview Muinchthe only SS member acquitted during the 1947 Cracow war crimes trialrefers to himself as a "victim," claiming that because he had to follow orders he was "no less a victim than his prisoners."

The Meeting grew out of a documentary film in which Muinch was first interviewed by Viennese
filmmaker Bernhard Frankfurter. As head of the Waffen SS Hygiene Institute Mi.inch had controlled
hundreds of lives. Intrigued by Muinch's responses, Frankfurter arranged for Ostermann, whose mother was German and her father Jewish, to conduct a book-length interview, for which he provided a concluding essay.

The dramatic structure of the discussion follows the events of the Nazi occupation chronologically. As
Ostermann initiates questions regarding reasons for Muinch's involvement (Was it a conscious endeavor? Did he participate willingly?), the book adds important new information to the testimonial literature of the Holocaust.
