InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

benjeman-shaw One of the best hollocost documentaries out there. The stories and interviews selected tell the story of what happened extremely well.

bt-949-468344 I really don't want to review this documentary, as all is well known about Auschwitz and the atrocities that took place there. This TV series portrays this perfectly and terrifyingly accurate. The main reason I'm writing this review is because I cant contain my anger over how they can sit and interview a Nazi SS member who in his own words shot and killed Jews and his only concern while doing it was to "aim carefully"? How is this German animal not executed, or at least imprisoned for the rest of his filthy life? How can he sit in his healthy old age in the comfort of his own home and say with no sign of remorse "I shot and killed Jews"? It really baffles me, and I hope the organizations that bring Nazi criminals to justice bring down this disgusting self confessed murderer of innocent men, women and children.

TheEmulator23 To all of those holocaust deniers, this is something that needs to be seen to be believed, because this is too horrific to be made up. This excellently done & narrated by Oscar winning actress Linda Hunt is probably the most definitive documentary ever done on Auschwitz-Birkenau. This 6 part series gives some information on what we do know & personal stories that most of us don't as well from both the so-called "inmates" as well as those that worked there. One begs the question of what happened to those that worked there & how they justified what they did. Even if you know a lot about the concentration camps such as Treblinka & Sobibor, there is still a lot of new things shown in this program. If you don't have any knowledge at all then this program is also for you. It seems hard to believe that people would just massacre another because of their differences, but even more surprising is how systematic and matter of factly they did the wiping out of those determined "undesirables." This is a must watch for those interested in History & to those who want to understand just what had happened & make sure it never happens again. No I'm not Jewish, Muslim or religious. I study World War II history & cannot fathom for the life of me the extremes of religion, hatred or the absolute belief in anything w/out REAL proof. The deniers are unfortunately usually uneducated and do not really understand anything about history & if asked deep thinking questions about all of the so-called "FAKE" evidence cannot possibly answer all of the questions or explain away all of evidence from films, documents, pictures, books, personal stories, the camps, the graves, and the list goes on and on. The so-called conspiracy of all of this being faked is completely absurd & extremely ignorant. I challenge any to explain away all of this excellent series. Supremely done & the fact that their is so much proof about what happened is truly what astonishes me that it all is a lie. If it is a lie, it's the best most complicated lie ever told & completely utterly impossible. Too bad the holocaust deniers won't even watch this.

ferdinand1932 TV often fails to convey complex information: both in facts and emotionally; instead it mostly serves up the obvious with images to trick our eyes.This documentary sets a new standard: the research is impeccable, the interviews gripping, the production perfect in every respect and finally the horror, the terrible horror of what humans can do, is absolutely clear. A history book could not do a better job.One of the best and bravest aspects of the series is when the interviewers ask a person how they felt about a murder they committed: did they regret it, how do they feel about it now? Those interactions make it worth watching the series alone.
