Fifty years after the war Dagmar Ostermann, a former prisoner at
Auschwitz-Birkenau, and Hans Wilhelm Muinch, former Nazi and SS
physician, talk face to face. In this rare interview Muinch-the
only SS member acquitted during the 1947 Cracow war crimes trial
refers to himself as a "victim," claiming that because he had to
follow orders he was "no less a victim than his prisoners." The
Meeting grew out of a documentary film in which Muinch was first
interviewed by Viennese filmmaker Bernhard Frankfurter. As head of
the Waffen SS Hygiene Institute Mi.inch had controlled hundreds of
lives. Intrigued by Muinch's responses, Frankfurter arranged for
Ostermann, whose mother was German and her father Jewish, to
conduct a book-length interview, for which he provided a concluding
essay. The dramatic structure of the discussion follows the events
of the Nazi occupation chronologically. As Ostermann initiates
questions regarding reasons for Muinch's involvement (Was it a
conscious endeavor? Did he participate willingly?), the book adds
important new information to the testimonial literature of the
Holocaust.
