The Diaries of an Elephant (2012)
Director Janina Pigaht always knew her grandfather as a loving and caring man. But after his death, she finds his diaries and photo albums that prove that he has been a dedicated member of the Waffen-SS during the Second World War.
Now the whole family is confronted with the past, what does one do with this ‘elephant in the room’?
