Alfred Hitchcock's Nazi Holocaust Documentary

Film by British Government/Alfred Hitchcock
Filmed in 1945, first broadcast in 2008
Video length: 53 mins


This shocking, and sometimes sickening, film, was shot by camera crews that accompanied the British and American soldiers who liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1945, as World War II was just coming to an end. The film itself was never quite finished because as it was being produced, the British government decided that it was too graphic for public consumption, and hence it lay in the archives of the British Imperial War Museum until its first showing in 2007. According to BlatantNews.Com, some parts have no soundtrack, but it has been put together as the producers had planned in the original script.


The Jew's bore the brunt of Hitler's hate campaign. Of the 11 million people that died in the concentration camps, it is believed that 6 million were Jewish. This collective shock to a whole group of people, spread out across Europe historically, was not over after World War II ended. They continued to receive bad treatment by some Eastern European countries, most notably Poland and Hungary, but it is still hard to fathom how they have brought about such destruction, and carnage, to the Middle East, when viewing this film. Their treatment of the Palestinian's, whom they have basically driven from their lands and squashed into the West bank and Gaza Strip, is close to what they received at the hands of the Nazi's, and surely their collective memory will awaken to this fact at some point.
