"Alfred Hitchcock worked on this documentary that's almost entirely composed of footage shot by cameramen of the Allied Forces in the spring of 1945." The Hollywood Reporter
In 1944 and '45, cameramen documented the horrors discovered following the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps. So powerful and damning was the footage that propagandists quickly determined that it should be made into a documentary to screen after the war, which would condemn the Nazi regime and shame the German people into acceptance of the Allied occupation. At the Ministry of Information in London, Sidney Bernstein assembled an expert team that included Alfred Hitchcock, but even Hitchcock's involvement was unable to prevent this ambitious work from being shelved, unfinished in the autumn of 1945. This masterwork has been restored and completed by the Imperial War Museums.
