The Reckoning
In the 1960s and 70s, World War II is a distant memory, but a few diehards are determined to hunt down thousands of Nazi war criminals, some of whom are living in plain sight.
In the late 1960s, West Germany is a prosperous democracy. Kurt Kiesinger is the chancellor. But a young German woman, Beate Klarsfeld, knows that Kiesinger is a former Nazi, and she decides to tell the world by publicly slapping him in the face as he is about to make a speech at his party鈥檚 annual conference.
Beate is one of a handful of people who more than two decades after the war are determined to bring Nazis to justice for the murder of millions. Many Nazi criminals remain at large, including the notorious Auschwitz camp physician, Josef Mengele.
