Auschwitz, The Nazis and the Final Solution, part 3: Factories of Death.

Third part in the BBC 6-part documentary series; ‘Factories of Death’ examines the annihilation system that the Nazis spread throughout Europe, with Auschwitz as the hub. It tells why the first transport of Jewish men, women, and children interred at Drancy, outside Paris, were transported to Auschwitz in March 1942 and what happened to the children who were rounded up without their parents. Genocide is being perpetrated not only at Auschwitz, but also at other camps, such as Treblinka, Belzec, and Sobibor. In the final segment, Linda Ellerbee talks with Deborah Dwork, Rose Prof. of Holocaust History at Clark University, Massachusetts, and the author of Children with a Star: Jewish Youth in Nazi Europe (1991) and with Robert Jan van Pelt, Holocaust: A History (2002); and John K. Roth, Edward J. Sexton prof. of philosophy at Claremont McKenna College in California, author of After-words: Post-Holocaust Struggles with Forgiveness, Reconciliation, Justice (2004).
