About fourteen years after the second Auschwitz trial in Frankfurt (1965 and 1966), the interviews with the convicts Josef Erber, Oswald Kaduk and Josef Klehr recorded during their imprisonment on the mass murders in the German concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau and their self-image as former members of the SS guards there and shown as perpetrators. There are no other contributions in the film other than the director's questions and the answers given, which are not shown. They reported apparently calmly about the murders in this concentration camp according to the roster as part of an organization: "They were assigned."
