    • Quotes

      Narrator: Small wonder then, that the 9.5 million Jews who still lived in Europe at the end of the First World War looked forward with great hope to the new world, the world of Democratic Europe, the world President Wilson promised would be made safe for democracy.

    A Part of history never should be forgotten
    Forget the the other numerous Holocaust documentaries. This is the definitive account of the atrocities of Nazi Germany, no reenactment..just fact after fact from records of those despicable times ..backed by photos and film ..kudos to Elizabeth Taylor and Orson Wells for their heartfelt narration....upsetting to watch but has to be seen.
