"Christopher Sherwood, who plays Officer Fritzsch, the camp official who condemned the ten men, excels in capturing what happens when the power of love clashes with hate. The way he embodies the slow spiral into the crazy obsession Fritzsch experiences the longer the starving prisoners survive, drives home just how much hatred eats at a person’s soul"

​

"Another outstanding performance is English actor Christopher Sherwood’s depiction of Auschwitz commandant Karl Fritzsch, driven to madness by Kolbe’s witness and orders his murder, a powerful illustration of how many try to drown out their consciences"
