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.
