Liberation
Synopsis
The story of the servicemen who liberated Hitler's concentration camps
They opened the gates of hell. The servicemen from Poland, Russia, America and Britain who liberated Hitler’s concentration camps talk of their terrible experiences to a background of distressing film footage. What these men discovered marked a turning point in Western consciousness. A Russian liberator of Auschwitz, wonders, “How many women do you have to kill to produce seven tons of hair?” Brigadier Bob Daniell recalls the 60,000 people dying of typhoid he discovered in Bergen-Belsen. American Felix Sparks admits that his unit’s first reaction to the horror of Dachau was to massacre dozens of German guards. One soldier radioed back to his command: “What man has done here, only God can rectify.”
