Reviews
“With her documentation, director and author Renate Günther-Greene scrutinizes a particularly dark chapter of the German Nazi past: the so-called Nuremberg Race Laws enacted by Hermann Göring , which declared people to be 'worth living' or 'unworthy' with hollow, pseudo-scientific justifications . In addition to Jews, Roma, Sinti, homosexuals and many more, it was also children who fell victim to the grotesque judgment schemes. The film also deals with the suppression of the topic up to the present day. "
“The moving film lets its now aged protagonists have their say in detail and refrains from any cheap emotionalization. Shocking and scandalous is the discovery that the people who were discriminated against remained locked away in nursing homes until the 1970s. "
