Syndrome K tells the story of three courageous Roman Catholic doctors who saved Jews by convincing the Nazis that these Jews were infected with a highly deadly and contagious disease that the doctors called Syndrome K. Afer Mussolini was removed, and Italy signed an Armistce with the Allies, the Nazis became infuriated and occupied Rome. Over 1000 Jews were deported by the Nazis to Auschwitz from the Jewish Gheto in Rome in October 1943 and most never returned. Many Jews sought refuge in the Fatebenefratelli hospital where the three doctors invented a disease to protect them, advising all patents to fake symptoms when the Nazi ofcers were outside the ward, and declaring it far too contagious for the soldiers to enter. Dr Ossicini was interviewed for this flm, as were survivors. The new footage amassed and combined with archives is chilling – and the secrets of their heroism is fnally pronounced. This is an unbelievable, mysterious WWII story that needs to be told.
