Travel through the archives of Eastern Europe, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC, and the restoration labs of Yad Vashem in Israel to uncover and reveal the story of persecution, theft, and murder through various artefacts, rarely seen photographs, and motion picture footage. Experts from across the globe illuminate what it took to systematically implement the destruction of millions of people, and the remnants of the Holocaust are seen under a new light as the viewer is shown the lengths taken to engineer evil. A German family cleaning their attic discovered the original blueprints to one of history's most gruesome constructions - Auschwitz. The diagrams, never before seen on television, illustrate in painstaking detail the methods behind the madness of the Holocaust. While the Holocaust has become a symbol of man's gravest inhumanity, it was as much an elaborate machine as any of man's other inventions. This special will look at the calculated and methodical Nazi plans that engineered one of the most disturbing events in history, one that should never be forgotten, and will reveal the extent of the regime's evil. This special will forensically dismantle the machinery that allowed the Holocaust to happen. But it is essential that other voices are also heard; the special will weave together personal first-hand accounts from survivors and witness of the horrors displayed in these horrific records. Recorded over the past 20 years by the Shoah Foundation and Yad Vashem, the voices of the survivors will humanize the grim reality of the mechanics we depict.
