Amen Movie Synopsis
Chemist and SS officer Kurt Gerstein provides a pollutant gas to the Nazis intended for disinfecting the concentration camps. When he discovers the true use of the poison, Gerstein takes measures to alert the Vatican in the hopes the Pope will do something to prevent the murder of millions of Jews held within the camps.
Excellent! This was a skillfull and artistic movie depicting the horror of concentration camps. It shows the tradgedy and desperation of the innocent, as well as those with conviction that occurs when people choose to ignore truth.
