- Morphine. Crystal meth. Sedatives. Testosterone. Leeches. A German soldier's feces. A bizarre combination of substances, but just a few of the more than 70 different drugs, vitamins and concoctions Adolf Hitler was consuming during the last nine years of his reign. This hard-hitting and in-depth film, a co-production between Channel 4 TV and National Geographic US, sets out to examine the medications Hitler was on, how often and how much he took, and to explore if drugs played a role in his behavior and actions. During the Nazi era, Adolf Hitler was presented to the German people as a great man of destiny, a man possessed of superhuman vigor and strength who would lead Germany to world domination. The truth was very different. Based on a secret American intelligence dossier and the medical diaries and journals of Dr Theodor Morell, the Fuhrer's personal physician, this documentary sheds new light on Hitler's health and extraordinary medicinal regime during the Second World War. They reveal that, far from being a picture of robust health, Hitler was a nervy hypochondriac. They chart Hitler's descent into illness and drug dependency, his use of uppers and downers, quack cures, powerful stimulants and multiple injections for various real or imagined ailments.

- It was arguably the deadliest conference in human history. The topic: plans to murder 11 million Jews in Europe. The participants were not psychopaths, but educated men from the SS, police, administration and ministries. The invitation to the meeting at Wannsee came from Reinhard Heydrich, head of the Reich Security Main Office. The Wehrmacht's campaigns of conquest in Eastern Europe marked the beginning of the systematic murder of Jews in Poland and the Soviet Union. In mid-September 1941, Hitler made the decision to deport all Jews from Germany to the East. Although there had been transports before, Hitler's order represented a further escalation in the murderous decision-making process. Persecution and discrimination had been part of everyday life since 1933. But as a result, the living conditions for the Jews in the Third Reich became even more difficult, among them the Berlin Jew Margot Friedländer, born in 1921, and the Chotzen family.

- So akribisch wie sie ihre Massenmorde geplant und durchgeführt hatten, gingen die nationalsozialistischen Machthaber dabei vor, die Spuren ihrer Verbrechen zu beseitigen. Wie systematisch die Bürokraten vorgingen und wie grausam und unmenschlich sie dabei vorgingen, ist bis heute ein weitgehend unbekanntes Kapitel Kriegsgeschichte. Genauso akribisch wie sie ihre Massenmorde geplant und durchgeführt hatten, gingen die NS-Täter dabei vor, die Spuren ihrer Verbrechen zu beseitigen. Hatten sie beim Vormarsch in den Osten zunächst die Opfer ihrer Hinrichtungen einfach in Massengräbern verscharrt, so fürchteten sie - nachdem der Krieg für sie verloren schien und nach der Gegenoffensive der Roten Armee -, dass ihre Gräueltaten entdeckt würden. Wie systematisch die "Bürokraten der Massenmorde" darangingen, ihre Spuren zu verwischen, und wie grausam und unmenschlich sie dabei vorgingen, ist bis heute ein weitgehend unbekanntes Kapitel der Geschichte des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Viele Angehörige der damals getöteten Juden, Sinti und Roma, der Partisanen oder einfachen Zivilisten warten bis heute auf eine Nachricht über den Verbleib ihrer Verwandten, hoffen noch immer zumindest auf eine würdige Gedenkstätte. Der Dokumentarfilm begleitet einerseits die französische Organisation Yahad-In Unum bei ihren Recherchen in der Ukraine und folgt andererseits dem Enkel eines der Täter bei den Nachforschungen über seinen Großvater, einen ehemaligen Angehörigen der SS. Beide sind im Raum Lemberg unterwegs. Die Rechercheure von Yahad-In Unum versuchen, Schauplätze von Massenerschießungen und noch lebende Augenzeugen zu finden. Dabei entstehen auch Porträts der Mitarbeiter um den Gründer und Inspirator, den französischen Priester Patrick Desbois. Der Hamburger Vertriebsleiter Rüdiger Schallock folgt den Spuren seines Großvaters, des SS-Untersturmführers Walter Schallock (1903-1974), dessen Taten bis heute als dunkler Schatten auf der Familie lastet. "Transgenerationelle Traumatisierung" nennt das die Wissenschaft heute.

- 20041h 37mUnrated7.8 (168)67MetascoreMenachem Daum, the son of holocaust survivors, and a New York Orthodox Jew worries that both of his sons, full time yeshiva students who live with their families in Israel, are becoming seduced to intolerance by their religious studies. "All religions today are in danger of being hijacked by extremists." To open their perspectives just a little he sets off with his wife, Rifka, and both sons, Tzvi Dovid and Akiva, to visit the Polish towns where his parents grew up and to try to find the Catholic farmers who hid his father-in-law from the Germans. Enduring the bemused tolerance of his sons, Menachem persists until they find Honorata Matuszezyk Mucha who as a young woman brought food nightly to Rifka's father and his two brothers for 28 months until the end of World War II. The Daum sons perspectives widen a bit to allow for good Gentiles, but they also encounter some resentment from the Poles who heard no word from the three brothers after they left their hiding place, not even a postcard with a thank you. A lot of issues are surfaced but left unresolved in this well crafted documentary.

- Im April 1944 entkamen zwei Gefangene wie durch ein Wunder dem deutschen Konzentrationslager Auschwitz-Birkenau und berichteten der Welt erstmals aus erster Hand die schreckliche Wahrheit. Der Dokumentarfilm folgt den abenteuerlichen Wegen, die beschritten werden mussten, um diese Informationen an die Alliierten weiterzuleiten. Rudolf Vrba und Alfred Wetzler waren Lagerinsassen im Konzentrationslager Auschwitz-Birkenau. Beide hatten durch ihre Funktionen detailliertes Wissen über die Mechanismen der Massenvernichtung: Wetzler musste als Lagerregistrar alle Besitztümer der Neuankömmlinge wie Kleidung oder Schmuck registrieren. Aus diesem Grund wusste er, wie viele Menschen täglich im Lager ankamen. Seine Deutschkenntnisse erlaubten ihm außerdem, Gesprächen der Wachmänner zu folgen. Wetzler und Vrba gelang die Flucht. Was sie dem slowakischen Judenrat aus dem deutschen Vernichtungslager berichteten, floss in einen detaillierten Report, der das Ausmaß der von den Nazis betriebenen "Endlösung" verdeutlichte, später bekannt geworden als die "Auschwitz-Protokolle". Ihr Bericht wurde dem von US-Präsident Roosevelt gegründeten War Refugee Board übermittelt: Zwischen den Alliierten entbrannte daraufhin eine heftige Debatte, wie sie den Massenmord in Auschwitz verhindern könnten. Aus dem Bericht war bekannt, dass sich die Nazis auf die Ermordung von 800.000 ungarischen Juden vorbereiteten. Es musste also gehandelt werden. Eine Option war, die neu gebaute Bahnlinie Kosice-Presov in Richtung Auschwitz zu bombardieren - oder das Lager selbst. Briten und Amerikaner hielten eine Bombardierung des Lagers für falsch. Alle verfügbaren Kräfte wurden für die Landung in der Normandie mobilisiert - dies sei der beste Weg, die Nazis zu schlagen und so die europäischen Juden zu retten. Für manche war das Versäumnis, Auschwitz zu bombardieren, moralische Feigheit. Andere hielten eine Bombardierung unter möglicher Inkaufnahme Tausender unschuldiger Toter für inakzeptabel.
