On the Trail of the Hangmen

For most of us, the events of the war years are as remote as those of Victorian times. The brutality and horrors of the Nazi regime seem to have been set aside; even Eichmann's trial has lost its force as a demonstration and exposure of their infamy.

We believe that while hate should not be nourished endlessly, there is a great need for a recall of the reasons for the miseries suffered by so many in Central Europe of the late 'thirties and 'forties. We have already shown one film made bv Germans themselves, Council of the Gods, which, though over-simplified in treatment and theme, did at least show something of pre-war German complacency.

Now we are screening a programme of three shorter films which shows some of the details of the Third Reich's moves toward world domination. To be screened in the first week after study week, the three films are Operation Teutonic Sword, A Journal For Anne, and The Name of the Capital Warsaw. All these are in English.
