Product Detail

Name:	Blind Spot: Hitler's Secretary
Product Code:	043396002678
Description:	Directed by Andre Heller and Othmar Schmiderer
Product Detail:	Blind Spot: Hitler's Secretary is a feature-length interview with 81-year-old Austrian Traudl Junge, who served as Hitler's personal secretary from 1942 to 1945. She saw Hitler in his everyday life, right up until his final days, and she witnessed, firsthand, the collapse of the Nazi regime. After the war, Junge was "de-Nazified" by Allied forces as part of a program of amnesty for young people. She remained silent about her experiences for nearly 60 years, until she agreed to be interviewed by artist Andre Heller, whose own Jewish father escaped Austria as the Nazis came to power. Originally a ten hour interview, this 90 minute film features no archival footage. The interview is Junge describing her experiences on camera and occasionally watching the video playback of herself as she describes those experiences. Junge passed away just hours after Blind Spot was shown at the 2002 Berlin Film Festival, where it won the Panorama Audience Prize.
