It’s a very heavy film that requires attention since so much is in German. I appreciate it because ALL of my dad’s family were killed in the Holocaust. People and memories change as they age. I’m not sure what we got was their truth at the time. The people in Austria at the end of the film were very different from those in Germany.

As a person of German descent who converted to Judaism 40 years ago. FINAL ACCOUNT brought out a range of emotion, none of the including pride in my German heritage. How could it have happened? One only needs to look at the Trump administration to see that it could even happen here.

Very powerful and very interesting. A bit disturbing that the one gentleman would not renounce the Nazis.

Final Account is a very brave and important documentation of the few remaining living witnesses to the atrocities committed leading up to and during the Second World War in the name of the Third Reich. It provides some need-to-know truths about human nature--our tendencies to go along with the majority in order to get along, to turn a blind eye to what we know is criminal if not evil behavior, to say nothing and do nothing when we know that is also wrong...and makes us silent perpetrators of unspeakable cruelties against our fellow man, our tendency to refuse to admit our own culpability.
