The Murderers are Among Us (Die mörder sind unter uns)
The first German production after World War II, this film centres on a doctor tormented by the haunting memories of his role in the war. When he meets Susanne (Hildegard Knef), a concentration camp survivor, he begins the process of healing, but discovers that the shadow of his past cannot be avoided.

Made under the auspices of the newly created DEFA Studios, the film is ranked by critics in the top ten of Germany's 100 most important films.

"Marked by superb camera and montage technique... a serious film concerned with the knotty problem of individual German's guilt for Nazism" Variety Movie Guide
