Plot
Based on the fact-based novel by Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesenthal based on his 1962 prosecution of the head of a German factory whom he learns was a murderous labor camp commandant. To be able to take him to justice, he must find witnesses who can help him. In his quest to find and prosecute the former commander of a Nazi labor camp, Simon Wiesenthal (Martin Landau) goes in search of witnesses to the man's crimes. Eventually, he encounters Max Rosenberg (Treat Williams), who along with his long-lost fiancée, Helen (Alice Krige), was imprisoned at the camp. Max reluctantly tells Wiesenthal a long tale of love and loss in a time of terror. Wiesenthal has no idea that Max's story will prompt him to make a previously unimaginable decision, though.
