Totschweigen

The film accompanies the search for a mass grave of Hungarian-Jewish forced laborers who were executed near the Austrian town of Rechnitz in March 1945, just days before the arrival of the Red Army. One witness was murdered, one survivor died, and two of the key suspects were able to flee. In their search for answers, the filmmakers experience a conspiratorial village community who resist the process of coming to terms with the crime. The mass grave has not been found to this day.
