Verily Hitler Is Dead

Set on the Baltic Sea coast in a united Europe, this drama explores an alternate history where the Nazis won World War II. The story takes place during Thanksgiving, a major national holiday established after a denazification process in the late 1960s. In this society, citizens have condemned Nazi crimes and accepted the guilt of the victors, building a collective identity based on the memory of Holocaust victims. A central part of this culture involves children having a patron who died during the war, with some participating in a competition to demonstrate their knowledge of that person's life.

The film was directed by Monika Strzępka and written by Paweł Demirski. Produced in Poland by Studio Orka, Canal+ Polska, Munk Studio, and ATM System, the production features a cast of 44 credited performers. The main roles are played by Adam Sadowski, Helena Czarnik, Sara Strzępka-Demirska, Wiktoria Gorodeckaja, Jan Peszek, and Paweł Tomaszewski. This science fiction history piece has a runtime of 85 minutes and was released on April 24, 2026.
