During World War II, six million Jewish people were murdered—some in extermination camps, others killed in the field by mobile death squads like the Einsatzgruppen and by police battalions. These units carried out systematic shootings of men, women and children, day after day, often following orders with a bureaucratic, matter‑of‑fact routine that made the killings disturbingly ordinary—an aspect of the Holocaust that remains little known. The film explores who these perpetrators were and how seemingly ordinary men could commit such crimes.
