Annihilation
Seventy years after Auschwitz's liberation, we have not finished accounting for the destruction of Europe's Jews. One question remains today: not why, but how was the Shoah possible?
The End of Illusions
Germany, 1933. Adolf Hitler, at the head of the Nazi Party, has just become Chancellor and is faced with leading a republic in the throes of economic crisis and rampant inflation.
The Trap
In 1938, the Third Reich annexed Austria and applied a policy of systematic expulsion of foreign Jews resident on its territory.
The Nazi Machine
By June 1940, Nazi Germany had occupied Paris. France was cut in two.
The Face of Death
Leading historians reflect on the barbarity of the Holocaust. By 1941, the Nazis were using gas as the hideous method for mass killings at their death camps - including Auschwitz.
The Final Solution
In the Warsaw ghetto, Emanuel Ringelblum and the other members of the documentary group Oyneg Shabbos collected whatever they could to recount life in the ghetto.
The Survivors
By summer 1942, deportations were systematic across those parts of Europe occupied by the Nazis. The convoys which arrived in Auschwitz-Birkenau came from Poland, also western and southern Europe.
Autopsy of a Mass Murder
On 20 November 1945, the trial of the top brass of the Third Reich, including Göring, opened in Nuremberg, the city where the anti-Jewish laws were drawn up in 1935.
Lest We Forget
Last in the deeply moving series about the Holocaust. While the hunt to find surviving Nazis continues today, efforts are being made to preserve the memory of their tragic victims.
