Synopsis
"Hasenjagd" (1994) — watch online on iFILM. Austrian director Andreas Gruber reconstructed one of the final winter's darkest chapters: in February 1945, around 500 Soviet officers broke out of death block 20 at the Mauthausen camp complex. The SS issued a call to local civilians to join the manhunt. In the Mühlviertel region, people came to call it the Hasenjagd — the hare hunt.
Most escapees were caught within hours. Two young officers, Mikhail and Nikolai, reach the Karner farm, where the farmer's wife makes a decision that could cost the whole family its life. Gruber built the film from documented local testimony, and what he finds is not just cruelty from the guards — it's the choices made by ordinary Austrians. Stream "Hasenjagd" (1994) online on iFILM.
