The Commandant’s Shadow is a poignant exploration of the legacy left behind by Rudolf Höss, the architect of the Auschwitz concentration camp and one of the most infamous figures of the Holocaust. This documentary focuses on the intergenerational trauma carried by both Holocaust survivors and the descendants of Nazi perpetrators. At its heart is the struggle for reconciliation and understanding in the face of profound historical and personal tragedy. The documentary is both an intimate portrayal of families grappling with a past they cannot escape and a more extensive commentary on the enduring impact of the Holocaust.
