A chilling and shocking, yet vital, dramatisation of interviews with a convicted Nazi war criminal. SS-Obersturmfuhrer Franz Stangl oversaw the deaths of nearly 1 million people in Nazi extermination camps. Following his conviction for the murders in 1970, historian, biographer and journalist Gitta Sereny interviewed Stangl to understand how an individual rationalises their actions in the face of a crime of such magnitude. This is the dramatisation of those chilling and harrowing interviews. Shocking and disturbing yet vital, Into That Darkness looks into the very heart of evil and asks how, 70 years after the end of the Second World War, we can prevent atrocities of this scale from happening again.
