Auschwitz, The Nazis and the Final Solution

Final part in the BBC 6-part documentary series; ‘Liberation and Revenge’ completes the history of Auschwitz. As the end of the war approached, Auschwitz officers tried to hide the evidence of their crimes but were not completely successful. After liberation, survivors searched for their family and tried to return to their prewar homes, but former communities and neighbors did not always welcome them. As evidence of war crimes emerged, some senior SS officers were tried and convicted; others were allowed to resume their lives. Over 4 years, 1.3 million people were sent to Auschwitz and 1.1 million people died...

Auschwitz, The Nazis and the Final Solution

Fifth part in the BBC 6-part documentary series; ‘Murder and Intrigue’ explores the web of international politics spun during the last nine months of 1944. By that spring, the Allies knew about Auschwitz and had the military capability to bomb it. Yet despite the pleas of Jewish leaders, the British and Americans decided not to bomb the railways or gas chambers. During the spring and summer, hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were deported to Auschwitz at a time when the killing machinery had been honed to perfection. That autumn saw a significant act of resistance in Auschwitz, when a group of Jewish...

Auschwitz, The Nazis and the Final Solution

Forth part in the BBC 6-part documentary series; ‘Corruption’ reveals why Auschwitz was unique in the Nazi state as the only site that was both a concentration and an extermination camp. The reason was simple-money. At Auschwitz, the Nazis wanted to kill "useless mouths" instantly and work stronger prisoners to death as slave laborers in places like the nearby IG Farben factory. Meanwhile, the SS profited from the belongings of those they killed-so much so, that in the summer of 1943, an investigation was launched into corruption in the camp and the commandant was removed. Elsewhere, individuals and nations are...
