House 88, once the home of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss, stands as a reminder of history’s darkest truths—and of the responsibility to confront them. Join director Daniela Volker for a conversation about The Commandant’s Shadow, an award-winning documentary which brings together Jürgen Höss, son of Rudolf Höss, and Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, a Holocaust survivor.
