Journey to Justice

Movies
Documentary film of Howard Heinz' journey to contemporary Germany with his two sons. Heinz, who is Jewish, succeeded in escaping Nazi Germany just before the outbreak of World War II, although his parents were sent to the gas chambers in Auschwitz. Heinz served in the US Armed Forces and filmed the liberation of Buchenwald with a small camera he had. After the war, he was recruited as a translator at the Nuremburg Trials. This subtly powerful film includes archival footage, stills and documents, as well as testimonies. Narrated by Heinz' son.
