Il boia insospettabile

When will I stop reading and watching that something happened "In Poland". Did Polish people set up the camps or what? And why are the camps marked on the territory of present Poland that did not exist back then? Nazi Germany were not there or what? And I sympathize with those who lost some family members during Holocaust but even them write "In Poland". Like Nazi Germany either did not exist or were a neighbour state.

For those giving this doc a low rating based on their view that it is historically inaccurate...your review is inaccurate and you've missed the whole point. No where in this doc do they accuse the Polish of erecting and running the German built concentration camps on Polish soil. Further, that is not what this is about is it? It's about bringing an accused mass murderer to justice. I for one am perplexed by all the negativity.

I found this highly thought provoking. I didn't know the story beforehand and the directions it takes are remarkable. It doesn't hold back visually and is upsetting at times. I appreciate people have issues with historical mapping and association, however the national identities involved didn't occur to me. If viewed from a simple human perspective you'll find it eye-opening and it will leave you aghast with moral quandary. Highly recommended.

This documentary was excellent. I understand why people are angry that the map showed Poland as having death camps but I believe they did that to show us a modern perspective of where this was going on...not that Poland ran the camps or is responsible. To rate this show a 1 out of 10 is just ridiculous!

There is a statute of limitations on murder not on mass murders" Was he a victim of a mistaken identity or a monster?

Was he the Ivan the Terrible at Trebinka, Poland where 850,000 Jews were murdered or he was as he said just John Damjanjuk, an immigrant? Did he torture Jewish women and children,, pushed them into the gas chamber or was he just a Ford employee, a good American citizen who loved fixing kids bicycles ...He was extradited to Israel in 1984-85 by US against a wish of few like senator Pat Buchanan .. but who would defend him? In Jewish land ? This documentary does not leave any questions unanswered, it succeeds to draw a clear distinction between justice and the crucifixion.. one can clearly give a verdict after watching this.. 1.7 m Jews were annihilated in Poland... interesting fact that I learnt from this documentary is that Wernher von Braun, celebrated American hero and also, known as a Father of NASA (brain behind Moon missions) was an SS officer, a war criminal. He invented rockets during WWII to attack on UK.. But his accomplishments drew a veil over his wartime crimes!! A MUST watch.
