On the contrary, now that the last survivors are dying, it is up to us to ensure that this terrible chapter of history is neither forgotten nor repeated.The short film Bannkorb deals with the subject of guilt in the Second World War. It reminds us that the horrors of the war and those who advocated it with conviction must never be trivialized.The end of World War II by no means meant the end of National Socialism and anti-Semitism.To this day, such views persist in the minds of many people, as the anti-Semitic hostilities and terrorist attacks of recent years alone vividly demonstrate.We believe it is important to approach the subject from a new perspective.
