Synopsis

Kurt Gerstein, a member of the Institute for Hygiene of the Waffen-SS, becomes horrified upon learning that a poison gas he helped develop is being used to kill Jews. Motivated by his conscience, Gerstein seeks to raise awareness and joins forces with Riccardo Fontana, a young Jesuit priest, in an attempt to alert the world. However, their appeals go unheeded when they turn to the Vatican.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
