DVD Reviews of The Nazis - A Warning from History
DVD Review: The Nazis:A Warning from History
Summary: 5 Stars
This a very informative program. The research was detailed and the information on the division of Poland by the Nazis and the Soviet Union was great. This has also been confirmed by other sources.DVD Review: A must-see documentary about the people involved in the Nazi horrors
Summary: 5 Stars
As already noted, this eye-opening documentary stays away from retelling the familiar historical events.
Instead, it focuses on the Nazi policies of ethnic cleansing and the people that installed and implemented these policies.
A large-scale ethnic cleansing, such as the one undertaken by the Nazis, involves a lot of people. Were they all forced to do it?
No, they were not. In fact, they volunteered for it. And not just the Germans - the documentary shows how foreign nationals volunteered to join the SS forces, which committed the majority of the war crimes during the WWII.
The documentary also shows how locals in the occupied territories voluntarily participated in the genocide against the Jews.
Violence against other humans is not a national characteristic.
Under specific social conditions, as demonstrated by the Milgram and Stanford prison experiments, "ordinary people, simply doing their jobs, and without any particular hostility on their part, can become agents in a terrible destructive process".
The BBC documentary shows how the Nazi regime created these conditions in a civilized society in the middle of the 20th century.
DVD Review: Answers to why?
Summary: 5 Stars
How did this happen? Why wasn't something done and how Hitler came to power. DVD Review: Warning
Summary: 1 Stars
The Nazis - A Warning from History is an attempt to vilify every German who lived in the 20th century and to systematically categorize them as "evil". Obviously this is some effort to deflect current controversial political issues onto some past event and "learn again" from History. Well, no one has ever "learnt from History" and it repeats. America claims to be a nation of "democracy" when it has spent the last six years creating bloodshed in the middle east, all for the control of oil reserves. The book should concentrate on the political and economic forces that shaped the 1930 German state and not debase the German people.DVD Review: can happen again
Summary: 4 Stars
those who don't know history tend to repeat it. unfortunately it seems to be happening again all over the world. I found the dvds to be very informative and added information I had not known before. The rise of Hitler to power was brought about by being in the right place at the right time, saying the right things. It is amazing how easily a nation can turn on itself ie against the Jewish population. Also how easily they believed they were intitled to the lands of other nations. This is probably not the best review ever written. Never wrote one before. But if you want to learn about the rise of Hitler and/or Nazism, this dvd set is an excellent start.
Description of The Nazis - A Warning from History
How could a political party as fundamentally evil and overtly racist as the Nazis come to power? This remains one of the most enigmatic questions of the last century. Acclaimed historian Laurence Rees examines what led a cultured nation at the heart of Europe to commit the atrocities it did. In so doing, he exposes popular myths and encourages understanding of the real forces that led to one of the darkest chapters in modern history. Was it simply the hypnotic power of Hitler's rhetoric? Did the Gestapo really impose themselves by terror on an unwilling population? Through interviews with witnesses and perpetrators, along with archive film and records, this six-part series unveils a more chilling reality.General DVDs
