THE HOLOCAUST STORY: 1933 - 1945: By the time the Germans were defeated at the hands of the Allies in May 1945 at the end of the Second World War, almost six million Jews from over 30 nations had been exterminated through hunger, disease, mass shootings and poison gas, among other means. How did it come to pass? This film, using extensive film footage -- most photographed by the Nazis themselves -- tells the story of the persecution and eventual destruction of the Jews during the years of the Third Reich. Some parts of the footage will be easily recognized from its usage in other documentaries; the difference here, however, is the expanded use of that coverage, showing scenes that have not been shown in depth before. Be advised, that quite a bit of it is very graphic and disturbing. Even for those with a strong background in Holocaust studies, there is film footage of interest here. Overall, the quality is very good. This film can serve as both a primer on the subject and a supplement for the historian interested in the topic. WARNING: SOME OF THE SCENES IN THIS DVD ARE VERY GRAPHIC AND DISTURBING. IN ENGLISH. Approximately 82 minutes. Can be played in any DVD player (zero region). THE LIBERATION OF AUSCHWITZ (1945): The films taken by Soviet cameramen in January 1945 showing the liberation of the concentration / extermination camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau have been seen in "parts" in various documentaries, but rarely shown in whole and rarely with appropriateexplanatory narration. This 52-minute documentary not only shows the entire film as it was put together by frontline Soviet military photographers, but includes that explanatory information as well as interviews with the only surviving Russian cameraman alive today. 52 minutes. In English and German; in very good quality. LE RETOUR (1945): In 1940 Henri Cartier-Bresson was taken prisoner by the Germans; escapes at his third attempt in February 1943. In 1945 he works as part of a team, photographs the Liberation of Paris and directs Le Retour (The Return), a documentary on the repatriation of prisoners of war and detainees. Le Retour is the story of the prisoners liberated from the Nazi concentration camps. This film footage of the expressions and reactions from prisoners at the time of their freedom is unforgettable. Included is the removal of the prisoners to temporary hospitals in Paris where they are reunited with family and friends. Also, an aerial view of bombed Germany which was presumed to be seen by the prisoners as they were being flown home. 32 minutes. In French with optional English subtitles. Very good quality. REGION FREE Approximately 84 minutes total. THE THERESIENSTADT GHETTO: While most of the world was content in deluding themselves into believing that the deportation of the Jews "to the East" meant nothing more than their resettlement and utilization in labor camps by the Germans, some people still dared to say out loud that the Germans were practicing genocide against the deportees. Meant to quell these rumors and to aid in the smooth functioning of the deportation of the Jews, the Nazis set up a "model ghetto" in Terezin, north of Prague in the early 1940s. Its existence was meant to prove to the world that the Jews were being handled correctly and that the stories about atrocities were just Allied propaganda. But the so-called model ghetto in theProtektorat was a sham: in back alleys, out of sight of the very few visitors who were allowed to tour Theresienstadt, were the overcrowded and filthy barracks, which held the starving populace, waiting for their turn to be deported to the East ... and the gas chambers of the extermination camps in occupied Poland. This DVD tells the story of Theresienstadt, containing rare footage, interviews and even pictures of the ghetto memorial as it looks like today. WARNING: SOME OF THE SCENES IN THIS DVD ARE VERY GRAPHIC AND DISTURBING. IN ENGLISH. Approximately 72 minutes. Overall, very good quality. Can be played in any DVD player (zero region). BATTLE OF SAN PIETRO & NAZI CONCENTRATION CAMPS: 3 film DVD covers subjects related to the end of the war against Nazi Germany. The Smashing of the Reich is an 83 minute film detailing the events which led to the downfall of the Reich in the West during 1944-45; The Battle of San Pietro is s a 32-minute, 1945 documentary film directed by John Huston about the Battle of San Pietro Infine during World War II. The film is unflinching in its realism and was held up from being shown to the public by the United States Army. Huston quickly became unpopular with the Army, not only for the film but also for his response to the accusation that the film was anti-war. Huston responded that if he ever made a pro-war film, he should be shot. General George Marshall came to the film's defense, stating that because of the film's gritty realism, it would make a goodtraining film; subsequently the film was used for that purpose. Huston was no longer considered a pariah; he was decorated and made an honorary major; Nazi Concentration Camps is a 1945 produced film, as well. It was put together by the US Army and it consists of one hour of graphic visual revelations about the liberated concentration camps, as they were found by the western Allies as they marched across a defeated Germany. 175 minutes long. IN ENGLISH. TOTAL TIME: APPROX. 677 mins. (more than 11 hours). xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxINTERNATIONAL SHIPPING CHARGES: (6 DVDs/CDs)First Class Mail International: $ 18.43 (includes the DVD in a plastic cover with artwork)Economy International Shipping: $ 12.00 (DVD disc ONLY; no plastic cover; no artwork)xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Items purchased as Buy-It-Now must be paid for immediately with PayPal.
