DVD Reviews of Auschwitz - Inside the Nazi State

DVD Review: Very good, not great
Summary: 4 Stars

WIsh it spent more time on what it was like during a typical day/week/month at Auschwitz. Overall a very well done "broad" sketch of the Nazi's.

DVD Review: Useful in Classroom
Summary: 5 Stars

This depiction of the history of Auschwitz and, more importantly, some of the people involved in working and/or living there, is one of the best classroom instructional tools to come along in quite a while. The interviews with survivors and camp guards illustrate the depth of emotions that were prevalent on BOTH sides. I highly recommend this video series to any student of WWII, the Holocaust, or history in general.

DVD Review: Riveting documentary
Summary: 5 Stars

This program has six 45 minute episodes. I found the documentary to be very fascinating and entertaining. The style of documentary varies a bit, it has history channelesque reinactments in some places and then shifts to an almost Ken Burns style at other points.
I own hundreds of hours of documentaries and this is probably in the top 5 that I have seen. I am not an expert on the holocaust or on Auschwitz, so the information that this presented to me was for the most part new; therefore I found it to be very educational.

DVD Review: Auschwitz
Summary: 5 Stars

This was one of the most accurate and informative dvds that I have found. People need to know what happened and learn from those who suffered and from those who brought pain to millions of innocent victims. It is hard to imagine how anyone could survive under those conditions. It motivates me to be more compassionate and appreciative of my life.

DVD Review: Absolutely astounding, in-depth documentary.
Summary: 5 Stars

Extremely well done documentary about the murder of millions of our Jewish brothers and sisters by the Nazi Third Reich. Deeply researched with interviews, graphics, reconstructions, dialogues, actual photographs and film clips of the horror of antisemitism in its final solution.

Essential viewing for all those who call themselves 'Christians'. What Yahweh sees in His creation of man is beyond me. Such horror; such unbelievable horror, yet so very, very true. A must see for everyone with a eyes to see and ears to hear.

Description of Auschwitz - Inside the Nazi State

Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 07/18/2006
More than any previous documentary about the Holocaust, Auschwitz: Inside the Nazi State reveals the inner workings of the Nazi implementation of Hitler's infamous "final solution." Drawing on the latest academic discoveries, this remarkable BBC series presents a wide-ranging, meticulously researched biography of the titular "killing factory" and its evolution into a highly efficient location for industrialized extermination of well over one million Jews, gypsies, and other so-called "mongrel races" between 1940 and 1945. From "Surprising Beginnings" to "Liberation & Revenge," the six-chapter program chronicles the gradual process that escalated into the Holocaust, focusing its expansive European timeline on the detailed movements of preeminent (and highly corruptible) Holocaust engineers like Heinrich Himmler, Rudolf H?ss, and "death doctor" Josef Mengele. Through painstakingly authentic reenactments of crucial meetings including the Wannsee Conference (where the "final solution" was secretly devised), we see and hear the Nazi thought processes, built on virulent hatred and bigotry, that "justified" mass murder on an unprecedented scale.

Subtle but exacting use of computer-animated effects allows three-dimensional exploration of newly discovered architectural plans and buildings long-ago destroyed, revealing the transformation of Auschwitz as World War II progressed. Along with rare archival footage, thorough documentation, and frank testimony from Holocaust survivors and Nazi perpetrators (not all of them penitent about their crimes), these programs make expert use of commanding narration by Oscar?-winning actress Linda Hunt, who brings depth and gravitas to a grim litany of sobering facts and figures. The result is an all-encompassing portrait of Auschwitz unlike anything seen before, masterfully written and produced by Laurence Rees with equal parts tenacity, intelligence, and integrity, informed by an overriding sense of moral outrage that is entirely appropriate to the history being examined. It's a remarkable achievement, as important as Shoah as a definitive exploration of one of the darkest chapters in human history. --Jeff Shannon
