A Nazi attempts to justify his acts. The scene is a parody of the `anonymous' interview: the voice is scrambled and the head is not shown on screen. The testimonial, playing down the actions, is given an unreal and absurd edge. The video illustrates the degree to which the notion of the Final Solution, as carved into our collective memories, is an abstract one, and how thin the line is between obtuse reality and grotesque fiction, between sarcasm and irony.
