news now: what happened at auschwitz. on the 27th of january 1945, the soviet red army entered the gates of the nazi regime's most notorious death camp. with the liberation of auschwitz—birkenau, the world witnessed the profound horror of the holocaust. this happened 80 years ago, and you've still got to tell people about it. they had whips, they had guns, and any time you could have been sent to gas chambers. how many members of your family do you think you lost because of the holocaust? i think it must have i been in the hundreds. 80 years since the liberation, we now live in a world of misinformation and denial. if this distortion of our understanding is allowed to take root, we run the risk that history will be rewritten and the true horror of the holocaust forgotten. i want to find out what, for someone like me, not ofjewish heritage and born nearly half a century later, it really means for the world to never forget. singing continues newsreel: war! precisely at dawn | on septemberist, without warning, the german weh

and as i said, you were in auschwitz at five and six years old. right.a sense, to remember. a lot of things i don't remember. but the things i remember were so... ..imprinted on my mind, you could not help but remember it. you know, the body feels it. a child's body feels it. the hunger, the cold, the being alone without your family. the feeling that... .."i will never see them again." and then, oh, go on with your life, whatever the life was there. what you also evoke, along with the hunger, the loneliness, and the fear, is the anguish of your parents, and that to me is very moving. again, going back to the ghetto, even before we get to auschwitz, you describe certain scenes that you remember with a child's memory, for example, of your mother faced with one of the nazi selections. right. who, at the time, had two of your cousins, her nieces... right. ..clinging to her. her sister's two children. yeah. and they were clinging to her. yeah. hoping that she would take them through. exactly. and it's the sister who pushed them over to my mother, because my f

auschwitz, also known as auschwitz—birkenau, opened in 19a0.mp and was transformed into the nazis' most notorious extermination camp and it was built on the site of a german army barracks in occupied poland. auschwitz was the largest of approximately aa,000 concentration camps and ghettos created across nazi occupied europe and north africa during world war ii. the nazis, under the orders of adolf hitler, deported jews from all over europe to auschwitz, they were rounded up and spent days travelling in cattle carts. roma, comenius, homosexuals and soviet prisoners of war, too, many died on the way. when they arrived at the camp, families were split up, men, women, mothers and fathers separated from their children —— communists. the elderly and the youngest work my dead on arrival. those deemed fit enough were put to work, stripped of everything, their own clothes, glasses, shoes, jewellery, their heads were shaved, the guards removed any kind of personal identity and human dignity. approximately 1.1 million people were murdered at auschwitz. th

and the biggest camp here, auschwitz-birkenau, was| here, auschwitz—birkenau, was destroyed by the germansth the notorious setting of —— saying over it, "work sets you free," is preserved as a memory. absolutely, that sign, the cynical advice to prisoners as they arrive, "work sets you free," as if this is what will set you free — freedom was far beyond their reach, and the preservation of the site is so important because there are people who question the truth of the holocaust, there are people today who, despite all the evidence, somehow challenge it and think this is made up. so we need to be able to point to this and show people, and just allow for more people to see it and become witnesses. i think there's something else to be said about this place — the purpose of the nazis was to dehumanize people, it was a whole process of dehumanisation, giving tattoos so that they are just a number, shaving their hair so they can't even recognise each other. and these survivors, what they've done afterwards and said, "we will retain and regain our dignity and our humanity." karen and james, thank

the building right behind me was the real home of the former commandant of auschwitz.gs that's incredibly powerful with jonathan glazer�*s film, the zone of interest, is how he uses sound to convey the horror of the concentration camp. you hear the noises of hoss's children playing joyfully in the garden just back here, combined with the suffering coming out of these buildings. people in pain. gunfire. the juxtaposition of these sounds is truly horrifying and very powerful cinema. it conveys all the horrors from behind the wall. we don't show it. the sound, which is absolutely a masterpiece, you know, the way it's done, you know, that brings the horrors. and it also helps to build the film together. more than anything else, the zone of interest is a triumph of cinema. there's an unblinking coldness to its observations that makes you acknowledge, rather frighteningly, that the perpetrators of the violence here in auschwitz weren't, in certain key respects, that different from you or me. that is the power of the film. to try and show these people as people and not as mon
