Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- This is an incredibly upsetting documentary. It deals with how The Holocaust began and the ways in which it attempted to eradicate the Jewish race out of existence, and pulls no punches when it comes to graphic details and historical images.
- Many of the eyewitness accounts narrated by Elizabeth Taylor are particularly upsetting, as they come from Jewish people who survived the atrocities committed against them. Taylor sounds upset and distressed reading them, and tense music and disturbing historical images accompany these accounts.
- Details on how the British and American governments did not take in as many Jewish refugees as they possibly could have (whilst they were fleeing Germany before the genocide began) may be a disturbing detail to some.
- One of the most disturbing things in the documentary is how easy it describes the Nazi Party starting the genocide against the Jewish population. It proposes that many nations- including the US- were somewhat apathetic to The Holocaust, as late as 1942/43, when it was well under way.
