How to get there
Nuremberg, 1946: In Courtroom 600 of the Palace of Justice, Hermann Göring and twenty other Nazi war criminals stand trial. Among the journalists covering the proceedings is Ernst Michel, a 22-year-old Holocaust survivor. Driven by a desire for justice, he struggles with both himself and his reporting: his heart demands accountability, while his mind insists on objectivity.
During the trial, he meets Seweryna Szmaglewska, a Polish Auschwitz survivor who is scheduled to testify as a witness. As both grapple with their traumatic memories, Göring’s defense attorney makes Ernst Michel a disturbing offer: a personal meeting with the chief defendant.
Torn between a sense of duty, moral doubts, and haunting nightmares, Ernst Michel does not make his decision until the very last moment.
