Up until 1986, when he decided to run for the Austrian presidential elections, there were no more than some distant rumours about the Nazi history of former Secretary General of the United Nations, Kurt Waldheim. During his campaign, his involvement in the 1942 massacres of the Yugoslavian partisans and in the 1943 deportation of Jews from Thessaloniki was brought to light, and thus Austria was forced to reevaluate its position over the country’s own implication in World War II. Consisting of different pieces of contemporary footage - TV clips, but also videos taken by the director herself during anti-Waldheim protests that she took part in — ”The Waldheim Waltz” describes the moment when Austria realised it can no longer consider itself merely one of Hitler’s victims, but rather his collaborator.
