Chelmsford Theatre Studio, Fairfield Road @ 8PM (Doors open 7:15)
The commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss, and his wife Hedwig, strive to build a dream life for their family in a house and garden next to the camp – it is hard to imagine that just a hair’s breadth away from the peaceful and idyllic Höss household, the unimaginable horrors of the Final Solution are unfolding in full swing. When evil becomes banal and apathy requires no effort, what separates man from beast?

Our last presentation:
May we encourage you to complete the Response Slips following the showing of each film – feedback (both positive and negative) helps us to decide what types of films to show in future seasons. In addition, you can leave comments for any of the films we have shown via the Discussion page.
Discussion Night:
We will be holding a brief meeting on Wednesday 12 March following the screening of the second of our Holocaust movies, The Commandant’s Shadow. This will be held in the Cafeteria area of the Studio Theatre. The Cafeteria will remain open, briefly, before we begin.
