- Emilio Kozhikow, Milos Karoli and Franz Josef Czardas have in common that they are Gipsies and that they have survived the extermination camps of the Nazis during World War 2. Quietly and movingly they tell about the incredible sufferings and inhuman conditions. And about bestial executions. But also about will and strength. With many stills from the concentration camps and an example from a short Czech fiction film, the film moves from the personal element into the general one, becomes a requiem on the fate of a whole nation and comments on the conditions of the Gipsies today.
- On Saturday, June 10, 1944, eight-year-old Genevieve Desourteaux wakes up to go to school. What she doesn't know is that just ten kilometers away, the SS is planning a direct strike against her birthplace, the town of Oradour sur Glane, in the middle of France - a total annihilation of the city and its population. Six hundred and forty-two people were brutally murdered. The story of the massacre is recounted in the film with matter-of-fact images from the place where the bodies were found, as it appears today with deserted ruins overgrown with grass.
- Depicts the life of the Dane Carl Peter Værnet - a well-known doctor in Copenhagen. He is invited by the Nazis to the Buchenwald concentration camp, where he is provided with finances, facilities and human lives for his attempts to 'cure' homosexual men. When the war ends, he is arrested by the Danish authorities, but Værnet manages to escape to Argentina.
