I watched this programme while it was coming out and found it gripping viewing. Impeccably researched and sensitively presented, it is TV history at its finest. Nothing can prepare you for what Auschwitz is like. I visited it in November 1996 with my wife. Camp I is grim, but the way a deserted hospital or minimum security prison is grim. You know that terrible things happened there, but it's a bit hard to imagine it. Camp II, however, is an awful place.

The design of the book is stunning and the pictures well researched and beautifully laid out.
