Synopsis by Sandra Brennan

This disturbing and controversial German documentary presents a relatively objective profile of Neo-Nazi agitator Ewald Althans. Althans, a 27-year old political activist, embraces the teachings and philosophies of Hitler. The film follows his political activities such as being the German contact for Holocaust revisionists living in Canada, to working with other similar organizations across Europe. His own organization is also explored in depth. His methods for spreading propaganda are identical to those of the Ayatollah Khomeini. Included in the film is a segment where Althans stands at Auschwitz to challenge visiting Jews to disprove his theories about death camp denial. He then is seen walking around making genocide jokes.
