Plot Summary

In April/May 1945 Allied camera teams filmed footage of the German concentration camps, including of the corpses of dead detainees and of the malnourished, ill-treated survivors. The main aim was to produce a documentary of Nazi atrocities to show to the German people in order to weaken any pro-Nazi sentiment that might remain. A secondary aim was as evidence that the atrocities occurred. This film was never made and the footage was archived. In 2014 the footage and narration from the original script were used to create a documentary on the German concentration camps, as seen from the perspective of liberating Allied soldiers. This is that film. Written by grantss

Trivia Originally shot in 1945, the project took longer than expected to complete, and eventually five of the film's six reels were left, abandoned, in the Imperial War Museum and forgotten. The footage was discovered decades later, and shown in an incomplete version at the Berlin Film Festival in 1984, and then broadcast on American PBS in 1985 under the title Memory of the Camps (1984).
