How The Holocaust Began
This powerful documentary takes a deep dive into the roots of the Holocaust story to find the evolutionary trail that turned an inhuman urge to get rid of whole populations of humans into the industrialised process of mass murder we call The Holocaust.
We follow archaeological work at forgotten killing sites across Poland, the Baltics and Romania – working with pioneering experts including Caroline Sturdy Colls, Richard Freund and Sebastian Różycki – using technology such as LiDAR, GPR and GeoSLAM.
