About Event
KITTEL is the true story of renowned German theologian, Professor Gerhard Kittel, who sold his soul to Satan.
On the way to serve in WW1, young Gerhard encounters the demonic Herr Herold. Herold is “fishing for souls” and very interested in religion. Encouraging of Gerhard’s nationalist leanings and ambition, Herold is a familiar face in the years that follow.
In 1933, Gerhard, now a respected professor of religion, joins the Nazi Party and publishes his radically antisemitic “The Jewish Question” book. Soon he is appointed to the highest level of Reich academia where his research into Jewish racial history is used to underpin Hitler’s Final Solution.
With Germany’s defeat in 1945, the full horror of the Holocaust is reported in the world media. Gerhard is thrown into jail. It is only when Herr Herold appears in his prison cell that Gerhard finally realises what he has done…
and for whom.
