Their names were Herta, Liesel, Liselotte and Hildegard: Hundreds of thousands of women, including secretaries, nurses, housewives and concentration camp guards, put themselves in the service of Nazi ideology in the German-occupied areas from 1939 onwards. The women were not passive witnesses to a genocide committed by men, but active accomplices and murderers. In the history of the Second World War, the role of women was often only marginally recognized. Around 500,000 of them were active in the areas occupied by the Wehrmacht from 1939 - where the Holocaust was actually implemented.
With her slap of the Federal Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger in 1968, Beate Klarsfeld abruptly got known worldwide. The film highlights the significance of this act and its background. Beate Klarsfeld, born in Berlin in 1939 as Beate Künzel, is primarily known to people as "the woman with the slap" and as the Nazi hunter. In 1960 she went to Paris and met her future husband Serge Klarsfeld, whose father was deported to Auschwitz and murdered there. She was confronted with the darkest part of German history, about which she had learned nothing at school. Serge gave her books to read and made her actively deal with them.

The night of November 8, 1923, is arguably the most significant and transformative in the history of the twentieth century. A localised uprising in the Bavarian capital of Munich, led by a small man with a toothbrush moustache and a poisonous yet compelling grandiloquence, would have repercussions that would lead to the political shackling of an entire nation, the most abhorrent crimes of the century and a world war. You might say, Adolf Hitler came of age amid the smell of sweat and sawdust of a Munich beer hall. In the political chaos of 1923, he was a local irritant, gaining popularity among workers and soldiers, the ethos of his Nazi Party spreading like a virus. His first attempt at attaining true power came with an attempted putsch on the already separatist government of Bavaria, which left him imprisoned.
A year that changed a city - and the world - forever. Hitler's rise to power, told through the letters and diaries of those who lived through a fateful turning point in history.
