Fascinating Tale of World War II Complacency
“Amen,&#34; a film by Costa-Gavras, is an exploration of the Catholic Church’s failure to speak out against the Holocaust even they they knew what was happening. Kurt Gerstein (Ulrich Tukur), was a scientist whose eyewitness report was used as a document to verify the extermination camps. Gerstein was a chemical engineer and army lieutenant working on purifying the drinking water to stop the spread of typhus.<br /><br />Through his father’s connections with the Gestapo, he was recruited by the Doctor (Ulrich Muhe) into the SS for his chemical skills. He developed Zyklon B, the gas used in the Nazi mass asphyxiation chambers, as he naively thought this compound would only be used to purify water. Through the program’s success, Gerstein’s status rose.<br /><br />The film unmasks the perpetrators of this evil and illustrates the thin line walked by those courageous enough to mount some form of protest. Costa-Gavras points out the moral deficiencies of both the Church and political leaders to do anything to halt the Holocaust. The strength of the movie is not in bringing out new information but in underscoring that millions of lives might have been spared if more people had acted.<br /><br />Blu-ray features include audio commentary with Costa-Gavras and the BBC documentary “Pope Pius XII: The Pope, The Jews, and the Nazis.”
