The Holocaust and postwar Nazi networks wrapped up in a thriller
The Odessa File was based upon a novel by Frederick Forsyth. The movie is about a West German reporter Peter Miller (Jon Voight) who is trying to track down an old Nazi Eduard Roschmann (Maximillian Schell) and in doing so discovers the Nazi organization Odessa. Miller finds that Odessa is a vast underground network made up of followers of Hitler that helped them escape Europe, but also set up new lives in West Germany by creating fake identities for them.<br /><br />The Odessa group didn’t really exist but the Forsyth novel and this movie highlighted that there were still Nazis who were helping each other, trying to cover up their pasts, and were still involved in government and business. This was something people were trying to forget or put behind them after World War II.<br /><br />The diary that Miller found also brings up the Holocaust and the Nazi crimes. Roschmann for example gives the argument that he was only a soldier following orders. This was how many attempted to justify the horrible crimes that the Nazis committed. The fact that so many people involved with this were still running around free never facing justice was another point the film tried to make.<br /><br />Overall, this is a very good film bringing up important historical facts within an interesting thriller.<br />C
