In 1979, Claude Lanzmann interviewed Maurice Rossel as part of his Shoah documentary project, who was an official of the International Red Cross during the Second World War. Rossel is known for his visit of the Theresienstadt Concentration Camp and erroneously reporting that the living conditions of the Jewish prisoners there were almost normal and life in the camp was acceptable, when the Nazis only showed him a staged tour through the camp, hiding the ongoing atrocities and the extermination process that was already in progress.
The film consists solely of the interview footage of this tense conversation and was released in 1997.
