How it feels

This documentary traces how Nazi-era judges and prosecutors who handed down death sentences in special courts returned to their jobs after World War II. It follows Jewish journalist Peggy Parnass as she reports on these same jurists still working in German courts, showing the continuity of an unjust system.
