The Vatican did not grant permission to film in its buildings. Ultimately, director and screenwriter Costa-Gavras found a building of the necessary size in Bucharest, the capital of Romania (referring to the Palace of Parliament, the largest building in Europe). Some street scenes were filmed in the Mogosoaia Palace ensemble, built in 1692-1702, approximately 14 km northwest of Bucharest.
Marina Berti's last role.
Kurt Gerstein (played by Ulrich Tukur) witnessed corpses being thrown into mass graves, and his driver reported that the crematoria could not keep up with burning the bodies. This was indeed the case: in 1942, the 18-meter-high furnaces for burning bodies operated non-stop. They were designed to incinerate from 1,200 to 4,800 bodies per day, or from 360,000 to 1,400,000 bodies per year, operating 300 days a year.
Stefan Lux (played by Ovidiu Cuncea in the film) was a Czech Jew, a journalist, who committed suicide in the League of Nations building in Geneva on July 3, 1936, hoping to draw the world’s attention to the danger of persecution of Jews in Germany. He shot himself, shouting “C'est le dernier coup” (“This is the last blow”).
