Summary

This program is the result of three years of research, drawing on the close involvement of world experts, recently discovered documents and nearly 100 interviews with camp survivors and perpetrators, many of whom are speaking on the record for the first time. Their stories are brought to life through the innovative use of archive footage, dramatic recreations of key decision-making moments, and their extraordinary testimony. It also offers a unique and alarming look at the mindset of the perpetrators - killers like Commandant Rudolf Höss, camp doctor Josef Mengele, and S.S. Commander Heinrich Himmler.
