Poland2020documentary53'Panorama polskiego dokumentu (2021)
She was SS-Oberaufseherin - a senior supervisor in Nazi concentration camps. Directly after the war she escaped justice – she managed to get away from a prison in Krakow. The documentary investigates the most mysterious thread of the escape: how did it happen that a group of Polish female inmates from Ravensbrück helped the former SS woman? Why did they decide to take this risky matter into their hands? The film is a fascinating historical investigation which reveals an uncommon portrait of the camp guard and her life after the war.
