Portrait eines Richters

Summary

Portrait Of A Judge

The lawyer Kolb represents a Vietnamese woman whose husband was beaten up by youths after a neo-Nazi rally. He succeeds in bringing charges against the neo-Nazis′ leader who had made a malicious speech at the rally. But the judge wants to acquit the accused.

Matters come to a dramatic head between Kolb and the judge when he discovers that this same judge had refused in the past to reverse a sentence by the Nazi justice system which had condemned a Jewish businessmann to death without any concrete proof for allegedly having a relationship with a Gentile, the so-called Rassenschande.
