Franz Stangl: How The Nazi Commander Of Sobibor Was Hunted By A Holocaust Survivor

Between 1942 and 1943, Franz Stangl, Commandant of Treblinka and Sobibor, perfected one of the most horrific killing machines of the Holocaust, responsible for the murder of up to 12,000 Jews a day. After the WW2, Stangl went on the run, hiding in South America for nearly 30 years. But his nemesis, survivor and Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal, never forgot the victims. This documentary tracks Wiesenthal’s three-decade, global pursuit to bring the architect of the Final Solution's most efficient camp to justice and finally expose the full truth of Treblinka.
