Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Dave Flynn It's a very well done documentary but I feel it's one sided. All the script writers and experts have made plenty of programs on the same subject and have just refined the shock horror aspect and made it user friendly.A far more balanced documentary is Hitler, The Greatest Story Never Told. Watch both before you review anything, There are certainly two sides to every story. A lot of the Jewish people interviewed in this program have made a living out of their experiences and believe me they have changed a lot over the years. The authors are Jewish as well so a fair documentary would be impossible to obtain.Still great viewing, I enjoyed it but it kind of spoils it when you know a lot of it has been altered for TV viewing.

unnirad2011 Sat through this entire 3-4 hours BBC documentary with 3D graphics to fully understand " the holocaust " horror . This masterpiece of fact compilation that is absolutely neutral , goes into every angle of subject visualization and authenticity has changed me forever . A must see for everyone to understand how thin are the lines that we draw , how delicate is the balance of peace and most importantly how the most intelligent , cultured humans can metamorphose to utter cruel worthless beasts , so that never ever something like this can happen here again !!!Amazing narratives , real photographs and visualization .Children should see this , do not prevent them from seeing the truth by raising some rating standards !!!

Michael O'Keefe This BBC documentary is a shocking comprehensive detailed history of the Auschwitz concentration and death camp. The site of World War II's most infamous killing factory. A very dark and disquieting topic...the Holocaust; Adolph Hitler's mechanized and determined extermination of an entire race. Jews from war-torn countries being herded in cattle-cars with malice, brutality and humiliation to many German concentration camps; but Auschwitz was by all means the jewel of the Nazi death camps. Samuel West and Linda Hunt narrate five hours plus of actual archival footage and gruesome reenactments based on comprehensive interviews. More than a million Jews were slaughtered or starved and worked to death before the camp's eventual liberation. Not recommended for sensitive viewers due to appalling and repugnant scenes related to the largest mass murder in the world's history.

d-wilhelm My parents are German. They emigrated to Canada in 1950. My mother has always denied knowledge of the Holocaust. My father died too young for me to know what he thought- but he was a kindly man and I believe he would have acknowledged the crime. As a dual German-Canadian citizen, I am proud that Germany has recognized the atrocity and made it a crime to deny it. Now, I challenge other nations to admit the same crimes. Canada and the United States against their native cultures. The United States about black slavery. South Africa and Germany have pointed the way. History should not be denied. This is the lesson the survivors of Auschwitz would have wanted us to learn. One cannot watch this film without being moved, both by the cruelty and greed of the oppressors and by the kindness and self sacrifice of those who aided the oppressed.
