Starring Alexander Knox, Marsha Hunt, Henry Travers

The first Hollywood film to confront the atrocities of the Holocaust, this chilling exploration of the psychology of fascism was made during World War II, but actually anticipates the Nuremberg trials. During the trial of Nazi war criminal Wilhelm Grimm (Alexander Knox), we flash back in time to witness his disturbing transformation from a mild-mannered schoolteacher, embittered by Germany’s defeat in World War I, to a brutal, fanatical operative of the Third Reich, who ultimately betrays everyone around him.
