Endstation Seeshaupt

End of the Line: Seeshaupt

Documentary film about a train journey that, in April 1945, saw around 4,000 concentration camp prisoners from the Dachau subcamp Mühldorf-Mettenheim sent on a harrowing odyssey through Bavaria. The Nazis' goal was to hide the prisoners from the advancing Allied troops. Together with Holocaust survivor Louis Sneh, the filmmakers embark on a train journey along the original route. Along the way, Sneh recounts the suffering in the extermination camp - hunger, disease, and death - as well as the incidents in Poing, Munich, and Beuerberg, and the moment of liberation in Seeshaupt. In addition to Sneh, Max Mannheimer also shares his experiences. After an ordeal through multiple concentration camps, he was eventually brought to Mühldorf; suffering from typhus, he began the terrible train journey - and survived. "You are not responsible for what happened," he says, "but you are responsible for what happens in the future."
