Every year I showed my 8th-grade students a documentary called ‘Memory of the Camps’ that I recorded from a PBS documentary. You can see it on YouTube. I warned them that I was taking them to hell. The quality of my tape was terrible, which was a bit of a blessing. The scenes were so gruesome that even ‘tough’ jaded eighth graders found it hard to watch.
I showed it to them because I knew that with the passage of time the Holocaust would pass out of living memory and then could be denied with some impunity as we are seeing now.
The entire documentary series “The World At War” is available on YouTube in high definition. The episode on Thr Final Solution is gruesome.
I just watched it on YouTube. I have seen clips in the past of a little of this, but I haven’t seen this particular documentary before.
Horrific.
