    Abstract: Sixty years ago, in the spring of 1945, Allied forces liberating Europe found evidence of atrocities which have tortured the world's conscience ever since. As the troops entered the German concentration camps, they made a systematic film record of what they saw. Work began in the summer of 1945 on the documentary, but the film was left unfinished. FRONTLINE found it stored in a vault of London's Imperial War Museum and, in 1985, broadcast it for the first time using the title the Imperial War Museum gave it, "Memory of the Camps." As the film's history shows, it was a project that was supervised by the British Ministry of Information and the American Office of War Information. And during that summer of 1945 some of the documentary editing was done under the direction of Alfred Hitchcock. "At the time we found the film, it was not entirely clear what role Hitchcock played in its development," says David Fanning, executive producer of FRONTLINE. "Moreover, one reel of the original six, shot by the Russians, was missing. There was a typed script intact -- undated and unsigned -- but it had never been recorded." FRONTLINE took the film, added the script and asked the late British actor, Trevor Howard, to record it. The aim was to present the film unedited, as close as possible to what the producers intended in 1945. "Memory of the Camps" includes scenes from Dachau, Buchenwald, Belsen and other Nazi concentration camps whose names are not as well known. Some of the horrors documented took place literally moments before the Allied troops arrived, as the Germans hurried to cover the evidence of what they had done.

    Uniform Title: German concentration camps factual survey
    Keywords: DVD-Video ; Blu-Ray-Disc
    Abstract: This hugely important film documents the liberation of Belsen and other concentration camp by Allied forces in Spring 1945. The production was originally shelved by the Ministry of Information in 1945, before being restored and completed by IWM in 2014. This Special Archival Edition has been produced in collaboration with the IWM and contains the museum's restoration, plus substantial extra features and some previously unseen footage that help to contextualise the film, a perfect-bound book, and commentary. The story of this extraordinary documentary was itself the subject of the Emmy-winning film "Night Will Fall" (which was released by the BFI in 2014). [www.bfi.org.uk]
    Abstract: Die Alliierten, die 1944 und 1945 die deutsch besetzten Gebiete Europas und schließlich auch Deutschland unter ihre Kontrolle brachten, hatten nicht nur die militärische Befreiung im Sinn. Sie wussten, dass sie dem Nazi-Spuk auch propagandistisch ein Ende bereiten mussten. Russen, Amerikaner und Briten kamen mit Kamerateams und Fotografen, die nicht ahnten, welche Gräuel sie auf Film bannen würden. Als britische Truppen im April 1945 das KZ Bergen-Belsen befreiten, dokumentierten die Kameras ihrer "Psychological Warfare Division" detailliert, was sie vorfanden. Zwischen mehr als 10 000 Leichen und 15 000 sterbenden Menschen verrichteten sie die wohl schwerste Arbeit ihres Lebens. Aus ihren Aufnahmen sollte im gleichen Jahr ein Film entstehen, der die Deutschen mit ihrer Schuld konfrontierte. Dazu kam es nie. Selbst die Mitarbeit von Alfred Hitchcock verhinderte nicht, dass das ambitionierte Werk Ende 1945 in den Archiven verschwand. Unter dem Titel "Memory of the Camps" fand ein Fragment 1984 Aufführung beim Forum, ein Jahr später im amerikanischen Fernsehen. Rekonstruiert und ergänzt ist dieser Meilenstein des Dokumentarfilms erst jetzt in seiner beabsichtigten Form zu entdecken. [www.berlinale.de]
