Long shot of the building of the District court in Litomerice. Close up shot of a sign on building reading 'Mimoradny Lidovy Soud'. MS. Heinrich Jockl, former Commander of Terezin Prison, walks across the courtyard, past the gallows and walks into the courtroom. Jockl is escorted to the dock by two uniformed warders. Close up shot of his head and shoulders in the dock. MS. The prosecutor reading the indictment. Crowded courtroom, Jockl standing, listening to the prosecutor. Several air shots of the Terezin prison and the surroundings. More ground shots of the prison, graves around, wall covered in bullet holes. Cut back into courtroom with Jockl standing, close up shot of his face as he works.
