The Typist follows the life and work of Larry Tillemans, believed to be the last living (at the time of filming) clerk-typist from the Nuremberg Trials. As a sergeant in the U.S. 3rd Army, it was Larry’s duty to document the testimonies of victims and perpetrators of the Holocaust– information that deeply affected the young Minnesotan. After years of carrying this emotional burden, Larry decided to share his experiences with as many people as possible, a tireless effort that brought his voice to a world that often struggles to remember the lessons of the past.
Film runtime is 57 minutes.
