Perhaps it is just as well that this is grainy and sometimes out of focus, because the scenes are so horrifying. The documentary was made by the U.S. Government as an overview of what American soldiers found when they liberated Nazi concentration camps. It would have been extremely difficult to fake any of the scenes.

I've talked with soldiers who were there, who took pictures and listened to the pleas of the living. They also smelled the camps, and that cannot be conveyed in this grainy DVD. Still, it is bad enough.

This is not a comprehensive or in-depth depiction, but it is as much as I can stand to watch. How anyone could deny that the Holocaust happened boggles the mind.

This is a very graphic video but it's an important work historically speaking because it reminds us not to forget what happened in the holocaust and why it must never happen again.

I am a fan of WWII documentaries and this one on the Nazi Concentration Camps was a real letdown. It has a great deal of footage from the camps, but its very poorly organized, and looks like it was produced in the 1950's. The narration is so bad I just turned the sound down - not topical at all and presents no lessons whatsoever. I would highly recommend the PBS series called "Memories of the Camps" over this patchwork DVD that looks like it was put together in someone's basement - not any real studio.

Lots of historic footage, and not much more. Basically, this DVD is historic footage of some of the grizzly things found in Nazi concentration camps, with a narrator describing what you are watching. Be warned, some of the images are so disturbing, it is hard to believe they are real. A 5 star video, except much of the footage is grainy, blurry, or otherwise not the greatest. However, one must remember the footage was shot over 50 years ago, in wartime conditions, so that is to be expected. You may need to watch it in 2 or 3 shorter sessions to ease eye strain, depending on the size of your TV. The sort of thing everyone should have to watch, to ensure it never happens again.

This illustrates what mankind can inflict not only on Jewish people, but Catholics, Gypsies,Russians, Germans, and dissenters. Our Lord came and told us the greatest commandmet is to love one another as Christ has loved us. May we never forget, and stop inflicting torture, persecution, and death on others in the name of anything we choose. What goes around comes around. After the WW2 Peace, the Germans struggled with the Berlin Wall etc. It is time to honor others however different, embrace them as children of the Almighty, and not feel driven to Kill them. This film is gruesome and very unflatering to the captors. They were abusive beyond human comprehension. It is a tragedy. May we learn and turn toward embracing and empowering people with their particular talents. Thank you, Margot Terry
