Quotes
Narrator: The dead have been buried. It remains for us to care for these, the living. It remains for us to hope that Germans may help mend what they have broken, and cleanse what they have befouled. Thousands of German people were made to see for themselves, to bury the dead, to file past the victims. This was the end of the journey they had so confidently begun in 1933. Twelve years? No, in terms of barbarity and brutality they had traveled backwards for 12,000 years. Unless the world learns the lesson these pictures teach, night will fall. But, by God's grace, we who live will learn.

Scenes of the horrors of the Holocaust

From the time my family emigrated to the US, in 1956, my life has been affected (being called a Nazi) by what is shown in the footage you will see. Many years ago, I began to look into the Holocaust, and this piece gives dramatic testimony to what was discovered by those who liberated the death camps. Detractors and deniers of these atrocities: YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS VIDEO! Many of the camps throughout Germany and Poland are shown and especially Dachau where thousands upon thousands are buried in mass graves. It is very gripping stuff and quite graphic. There are many scenes which show the dead and dying lying scattered throughout the camp. Local volunteers and SS soldiers are shown throwing decaying bodies into pits. Despite its' gruesomeness it is worthy of the time spent and if we have to have a reason to discourage what leads to war, this is one.
