Important, but ever sooo... dont misunderstand a simple grumpy old man... a very dry and tummy wringing longlasting and painful turtlerace of pace ,even for a documentary,the way its presented its only baiting in the most highly intellectuals thats due to age or other circumstances has been in touch with the nazi/genocide matters, and leaves the rest of the audience in a big monstrous yawn by the slit in the wall, a slit so narrow that they have to climb on top of eachother to even get a glimpse of understanding the historical facts of gruesomeness that took place at the european civilian war theater, where actually way, way way more than 6 mill were murdered and sent into oblivion due to mad mens wrung minds in german dungeons and ''liberation'' camps, not only jews, but handicapped, gypsies, gay people, military prisoners, political activists, even humanists mentioned as the tip of the iceberg.

Its a document of the past that wont fetch the masses due to the young generations historical disinterest made invalid by the in situ cravings of social media and other digital platforms of joy like war gaming and shootouts when grand theft auto...

human memory is short and genocides has happened in vast numbers after ww2, like the balkans in the 90's, the rwanda in 1994 and the red khmer of cambodia in the 70's, not to forget stalins gruesome machinery, and the ever so cloaked businesses of chairman maos china... it will happen again, and it might happen to you too, so wether or not its long and yawndrawn, do raise these issues among your next of kins and kids, it shows the cruel and also the extremely weak and cowardish among thehumankind.....

I had always presumed once Joseph Mengele escaped to Argentina that he remained in South America until his death. Not so. The truth about were he went and when and who he visited is truly disturbing. GETTING AWAY WITH MURDERS lays bare many uncomfortable truths - perhaps too many for some, especially those who try to deny that the holocaust ever happened.

Good documentaries tell stories, the best ones are films that the viewer learns from. And there is a lot to take in here. Emotion is overwhelming; anger and shame against compassion and sorrow.

This film really should form part of the school curriculum in the UK and beyond. Everything revealed within it could all so easily happen again, especially now in our post-truth age.

GETTING AWAY WITH MURDERS is essential viewing.
