Death Mills

Commissioned by the War Department to show to Germans during the occupation, basically shaming them into facing what was going on in their own backyards. The tone is almost one of scolding, and is really one of the few films to call out the average German citizens for their indifference and denial. There is sharp, pointed language in the narration. Most of the footage will be familiar to anyone who watches a fair amount of Holocaust docs but these images never lose their awful power.

It didn't work but it was worth the try.
