about the fiim: bad nazi.good nazi

The extraordinary story of German officer Wilm Hosenfeld, immortalized in Roman Polanski’s film as the Nazi who saved The Pianist’s life.

Hosenfeld’s personal diaries record his chilling, gradual disillusionment with the Nazi war machine he belonged to  and that Szpilman, incredibly, is just one of sixty people he saved

Thalau’s group of supporters are inspired to have Hosenfeld memorialized at the local school he led, but the villagers struggle to come to terms with the complicated legacy of a man they want to forget
