This sober, didactic documentary retraces a crucial episode in our history, explaining simply and clearly the context of those years, the rise and fall of Nazism.
Exceptional color images, filmed in the intimacy of Nazi dignitaries, as well as moving documents filmed inside the Warsaw ghetto or during the liberation of the Buchenwald camp.
Many of the images come from untapped archives whose owners were unaware of their existence.
