The Historical Archive Releases The NAZI Concentration & Death Camps Film Collection on DVD

"With all the mythology around the holocaust a dose of unedited reality is sometimes necessary," reports Steven Chabotte, president of The Historical Archive. "The Nazi Concentration & Death Camps Film Collection delivers raw unedited footage taken by liberators as they freed detainees at the end of World War II. It shows how it really was for these people living in horror and makes it very clear why we as a world civilization never want to head in that direction again."

Hate crimes and violence are endemic in our society. With the recurring outbreaks of violence in the Middle East and the thread of anti-Semitism showing up in many European countries and elsewhere, there is great danger. The motto "Never Forget" has never been more true than today.

"With all the mythology around the holocaust a dose of unedited reality is sometimes necessary" reports Steven Chabotte, president of The Historical Archive. "The Nazi Concentration & Death Camps Film Collection delivers raw unedited footage taken by liberators as they freed detainees at the end of World War II. It shows how it really was for these people living in horror and makes it very clear why we as a world civilization never want to head in that direction again."

The Nazi Concentration & Death Camps Film Collection was created in its raw unedited format to allow people 60 years disconnected from these events to see firsthand the horrors that people were subjected to under the brutal dictatorship of Hitler and the Nazis.

It was built from a compilation of two collections.

The first collection, "Nazi Concentration Camps" is raw footage of Nazi concentration camps in the immediate aftermath of World War II. The footage was gathered by the US Department of Defense as part of the effort to conduct war crimes trials. Footage was taken by the liberators as they went from camp to camp freeing detainees. The film can be quite raw and graphic in some parts.

Included in this collection is footage of the following concentration camps: Ohrdruf. Breendonck, Nordhausen, Buchenwald, Bergen-Belsen, Penig, Leipsig, Arnstadt, Mauthausen and Hadamar.

The second film, "Nazi Murder Mills" represents the first actual newsreel pictures of atrocities in Nazi murder camps that were released to the public in a newsreel format. If offers real-life horror pictures revealing the unbelievable atrocities committed by the Nazis in their murder camps

According to Steven Chabotte, "Nazi Germany is no longer with us. But there are similar prejudicial attitudes that still prevail today. This collection of films starkly demonstrates what happened and can happen again in the future if the civilized world allows these attitudes to go unchecked and fester and grow as dark undercurrents to our society."
