FRONTLINE

Memory of the Camps

Season 1985 Episode 18 | 57m 32s

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 film record of what they saw. FRONTLINE found the unfinished film stored in a vault in London's Imperial War Museum and broadcast it for the first time in 1985.
