Synopsis

On April 20, 1945, twenty Jewish children were hanged at the Hamburg school on Bullenhuser Damm. SS doctor Heißmeier had previously conducted "medical" experiments on the children. To conceal this crime from the advancing British forces, the SS, under the command of Obersturmführer Arnold Strippel, killed the children, two prisoner nurses, two prisoner doctors, and 24 Soviet prisoners of war. One of the children's murderers, Arnold Strippel, who now lives in Frankfurt, has been under investigation by the Hamburg public prosecutor's office since 1979, but so far without any results. The film documents the children's story through eyewitness accounts. It conveys impressions of Nazi propaganda through "Die Deutsche Wochenschau" (The German Weekly Newsreel) and shows the dangers of neo-fascism in the Federal Republic of Germany. In April 1980, a few days after a memorial service for the children, neo-Nazis planted a bomb in the school on Bullenhuser Damm...
