Sixty years ago, in the spring of 1945, Allied forces
liberating Europe found evidence of atrocities which have tortured the
world’s conscience ever since. As the troops entered the German
concentration camps, they made a systematic film record of what they
saw. Work began in the summer of 1945 on the documentary, but the film
was left unfinished.
FRONTLINE found it stored in a
vault of London’s Imperial War Museum and, in 1985, broadcast it for
the first time using the title the Imperial War Museum gave it, ‘Memory
of the Camps.
