Is there any existing footage of the concentration camps of Europe during World War II?
Yes – the Nazis took endless hours of film inside their death camps. I have seen some of it which was made available in cinemas immediately after the war. The UK.gov back then [Labour] wanted the people to know what their victory really meant. I’ve no idea where you might be able to see such film[s] today. I should warn you they are horrific in the extreme. One such film showed the liberation of Belsen concentration camp with huge piles of dead bodies, the ovens and gas chambers etc.
Navigate to: http://www.segfl.org.uk/news/view.php?id… To find:- British Pathe news films record the discovery of the concentration camps in 1945 and related events in the years after. 60 years later many of the films still have the power to shock and to reach deep into the emotions.
