It's not the system itself that is evil, it's humans

At first I thought it was similar to the American version of Lust and Caution, but when I saw it, I found that the story was much more complicated, and the whole story was very exciting.
Through Rachel's point of view, the film lets people see Jews in World War II, lawyers who ostensibly helped Jews, German officers, resistance groups, and people who were still crazy after the war.
It's the same all the time, there are deals everywhere, there are vested interests, speculators, and sellers all over the place.
At the end, Rachel was in her native Israel, happily walking to the collective farm with her child and her husband, and at this time, a convoy of soldiers suddenly appeared at the gate of the farm, and the atrocities were still going on. It's ironic, this ending is too powerful.
It is not the system itself that is evil, it is humans.
