Introduction

Almost 1 million people in 22 countries carried out the unprovoked murder of 11 million innocent men, women and children. 99% of those responsible were never prosecuted; most were never even questioned. Despite the extensive cinema documentary coverage of the Holocaust to date, not one has explored in any depth the almost total lack of justice, statistically, towards the vast numbers of eagerly participating perpetrators who, at war's end, simply walked away -- untouched by justice. This film addresses this glaring omission.

"Getting Away With Murder(s)" is a sombre, valuable film that confronts a glaring omission in Holocaust documentation: the almost total lack of justice for the vast majority of perpetrators. With nearly 1 million people actively participating in the unprovoked murder of 11 million innocents across 22 countries, only 1% were ever prosecuted. This documentary sheds light on the disturbing reality that most of these individuals walked away untouched by justice, never even questioned. It is an essential watch for understanding the full scope of post-war accountability and the unsettling ease with which so many evaded retribution.
