"The Zone of Interest" er nok en af de mest idylliske film, du nogensinde kommer til at se om Holocaust. Kommandanten for Auschwitz Rudolf Höss og hans hustru Hedwig lever et drømmeliv med legende børn og jødiske tjenere i deres store hus med en imponerende smuk have. De har umiddelbart ingen bekymringer over de masseudryddelser og uhyrligheder, der sker lige på den anden side af muren. Her skimtes toppen af KZ lejren med trøstesløse bygninger, pigtråd og buldren fra krematorier, der skyder kulsort røg op. Storspil af Christian Friedel (”Det hvide bånd”) og Sandra Hüller (”Min far Toni Erdmann”).

Da Vassili og Danilov begge forelsker sig i en smuk soldat lader Danilov sin ven i stikken da han overlader det til Vassili at møde sit tyske modstykke alene. Mens byen brænder indleder Vassili og Konig en listig leg om katten med musen og fører en helt privat krig om mod, ære og fædreland.

I 1951 var det temmelig kontroversielt for en velanset A-klasse skuespiller som James Mason at spille en frygtet tysk general. Og ikke mindre usædvanligt så få år efter 2. Verdenskrig, var det, at Nazi Tysklands bedste general "ørkenræven" Feltmarskal Rommel blev portrætteret så sympatisk, heltemodigt og nuanceret som i denne klassiker. Måske respekten fra Hollywood hang sammen med, at Rommel i 1944 medvirkede ved et fejlslagent attentat mod Hitler. Mason gentog iøvrigt sin rolle to år senere i The Desert Rats.

“Death is my Trade” centers on the life of Rudolph Höss, the commandant of Auschwitz II-Birkenau for the majority of its existence. The main character's name in the film is Franz Lang.

The film follows Franz as he grows up and becomes a hard, efficient, organized worker who eventually joins the National Socialist party in Germany. Impressionable young Franz takes orders as one of the utmost points of honor and duty, so when he is eventually asked by Heinrich Himmler to become commandant of the largest extermination camp built during WWII he barely hesitates to consider how heavy such a burden will be.
