The anatomy of evil

»The Anatomy of Evil« is the result of persistent research that has led director Ove Nyholm on a world journey to answer controversial questions: What makes ordinary people commit mass slaughtering and indulge in genocide during war time? And how do they get on with their everyday life having hundreds of killings on their conscience? The director introduces us to the executioners who each have a personal history that explains their involvement in the most cruel genocides in Europe during the last fifty years - from Holocaust to the recent tragedy in the Balkans.
