A holocaust survivor Aaron Reichenbach (Maximilian Schell) returns to Germany and attacks ex-Nazi officer Arnold Krenn (Kurt Hübner) in a Frankfurt airport. When Arnold files assault charges, a public defender, Gabriele Schlüter-Freund (Liv Ullmann), represents Aaron, expecting a straightforward case. But when Gabriele discovers that Aaron is one of many victims of cruel medical experiments in concentration camps, she resolves to seek justice. Aaron is reunited with his long lost sister Ruthi (Gila Almagor) who has also survived. At the end of the movie the experimentation on, and execution of 20 Jewish children in the Bullenhuser Damm is revealed by Ruthi. Arnold Krenn is found not guilty although he was.
