Customer Reviews

lots of good images but lacking in explanation
To be honest, this should have been a book. It's just pictures with maybe 30 minutes of overlaid voice explanation.
Having said that, one could argue that that contributes to the effect, the silent horror at what happened.
It's old quality (obviously) which wasn't made into this set at a time where digital improvements were available to old film, so don't expect it to look like you're there with the prisoners.
If you're looking to learn in detail about the camps, either go there yourself or buy a book on the subject. But if you want to SEE it without visiting, and aren't too bothered about in depth explanations, I'd recommend it. It's damned expensive though!
