Modus Operandi
A
film by Hugues Lanneau
From 1942 to 1944,
24,916 Jewish men, women and children were deported from Belgium to Auschwitz. Only 1,206 survived.
Modus Operandi raises and systematically answers the question:
How did just a handful of Nazis, with the help, voluntary or unwitting, of the Belgian authorities, bring about their destruction?
Many films asked "Why did this happen?". Modus Operandi tries to find out "How did this happen?".
