Abstract:
Contains the complete series of six episodes of Auschwitz : the Nazis & the 'Final Solution'. This series offers a unique perspective on the camp in which more than one million people were ruthlessly murdered. The series follows the trail of evil from the origins of Auschwitz as a place to hold Polish political prisoners, through the Nazi solution for what they called 'the Jewish problem' to the development of the camp as a mechanised factory for mass murder. It interweaves new testimony from camp survivors and members of the SS with archive footage and drama reconstructions of some of the key decision-making moments.
