This review is from: The Holocaust & Concentration Camps: Jewish Life & Death in the Nazi Camps [includes real footage from Penig, Ohrdruf, Breendonck, Hannover, Arnstadt, Mauthausen, Buchenwald, Dachua] BE ADVISED: Contains Graphic Material (DVD)

We thought this was only 18 minutes long, but it's much longer. It shows footage that was shown in movie theaters around the time of liberation taken by American soldiers under the orders of General Eisenhower to record what they found at the camps in Germany. The footage was interesting and most of it was new to me. It is not like a documentary. There is no narration or voice-over.

Best thing I can say about this product is that it's relatively inexpensive. Be advised that if you purchase this, you are only getting some grainy footage from right after the liberations. Audio is nono-channel, and nothing has been done with today's technology to clean up the film. The first five minutes is nothing but letters testifying it's authentic. Might have been needed at Nuremburg, but not 65 years later. There is some interesting, and graphic, footage, but most of the best footage has already been used in other documentaries. This is simply post liberation footage from some of the camps and not particularly long at that. There are much better documentaries out there on this subject, and I'd recommend them over this product.
