Part of the German effort in coming to terms with the atrocities of the Second World War has been the opening up of concentration camps for all to see. The most notorious of these is Auschwitz, a location that saw unspeakable horrors unfold as the war raged. This series takes a look at the events and history of Auschwitz in a six-part program. Exhaustive research was undertaken, with victims and perpetrators of the crimes committed at the site spoken to at length. Reenactments help provide a gruesome visualization of the events, alongside some shocking archive footage. A comprehensive, detailed history of Auschwitz, this is the definitive word on the appalling scenes that took place there.
