- A great documentary about the worst place in the world
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 day we visited, the weather was chilly but dry and the sky was lightly overcast. The sheer size of the site is mind-boggling - it seems to go on to the horizon. The remaining barracks are as cold inside as they are outside, because the walls do not touch either the ground ... Read More:

- The most incredible place on earth - compelling viewing
Auschwitz should be included on the list of places a person should see before they die. Why? Well, despite it looking inhospitable and at certain times of the year, cold and hostile - it is also the place where one man tried to wipe an entire race of people off the face of the earth and given the number of people he targeted, it could be said he very nearly succeeded.

Yes, there are those out there who say Stalin and Mao killed many many more people but are there monuments to that today? In China, I would doubt it. The Nazis certainly did their best to wipe out the crematoria by blowing them up but what remains is a place where birds will not sing and screams could probably be heard from every place.

The BBC did an incredible ... Read More:

- Should be shown in every school...
The eye witness accounts including confessions of some of the SS guards and harrowing recollections of some of the survivors is shocking. What happened at Auschwitz wasn't just due to the Nazi participants but also to the collective blind eye that was the rest of Europe. I had never realised before that the camps could have been bombed but were not, or that other governments had refused refuge to the Jews trying to escape. I also now understand why this subject should never be forgotten or dismissed as having happened "in the past". Recent world events involving "ethnic cleansing" such as in Bosnia are reminders of how a "modern" cultured nation can still descend into this type of insane hell. This 6 part series should be shown to all school kids, as part ... Read More:

- Terrifying but essential viewing
Laurence Rees is one of the BBC's outstanding historical documentary producers and one of his principal interests is the havoc wrought in Europe by Hitler and his henchmen. Ten years ago, he gave us the six-part series "The Nazis, A Warning from History". This series, homing in on one aspect of Nazism, was broadcast on the BBC around the time of the 60th anniversary of Auschwitz' liberation by the Red Army in January 1945. When it was broadcast I was unable to tear myself away from the screen and I seized a copy of the 2-DVD set as soon as I saw it in the shops.
The series mixes actual footage, interviews with victims and perpetrators and computer generated images of the two main camps (the "administration centre" at the confluence of the Sola and ... Read More:

- Good but flawed
Like other reviewers I found this a must watch series and was gripped by it. However as I have studied the holocaust over many years I was horrified to see the manipulation of various aspects withing this series. If you saw The Nazis-A Warning From History, you would be expecting hard fact only in this series but oh no we get speculation and pandering to the myth of the gas chambers. I will be precise. One statement in voice over talks about the design and functionality of the gas chamber at Auschwitz. He said 'no plans exist of the gas chamber but if they did it would look something like this. Pardon? Read this statement again and like me you will start to question a lot of content in this otherwise tremendous series. I am not a holocause denier but as a jewish ... Read More:
