This documentary examines the role of American soldiers in the liberation of concentration camps at the end of World War II. The film combines historical footage and stills of the camps (including photographs taken by the witnesses themselves) with the powerful testimony of those Americans who were among the first to see the camps upon liberation. In addition, the veterans describe the enduring impact that witnessing the horrors of the Holocaust has had on their lives.

(Facing History and Ourselves)

Soon after Hitler and his Nazi party took over Germany in 1933, they began to isolate and then eliminate Jews and other “racial enemies.” By the late 1930s, Jews could no longer own radios or record players. They were banned from movie theaters, concert halls, and cabarets. Their music, art, and literature were labeled “degenerate,” even immoral.
