Holocaust Concentration Camp - 2006 - 5/10

Middling four part documentary series suffers from subpar production values.
Episodes have no music, relying on photos, film clips, testimonies, and narration.
Auschwitz has been better covered in Auschwitz: The Nazis and the Final Solution.
I had been looking forward to Majdanek as this camp was still functioning when the Soviets liberated it.
Mostly testimony, dry as dust.
Dachau and Sachsenhausen had color footage and offered background - but - parts were lazy.
Example: The narrator describes the SS starting the camp, yet newsreels are of the SA.
Himmler is referenced and shown, then in the next frame, still mentioning Himmler, Ernst Röhm is shown.
For the curious, I would recommend the chapter on Ravensbruck And Buchenwald.
The latter was a woman’s camp, and this episode translates what various badges meant, hierarchies, and reasons for incarceration.

So-called democracies would be well advised to study history.
Marginalization generally leads to persecution. Walls can easily become camps.
