Auschwitz Untold: In Colour

AUSCHWITZ UNTOLD: IN COLOUR tells the real story of the liberation of Auschwitz, for the first time in colour. By bringing colour to the original black and white archive and telling survivors’ stories, this special really brings to life and commemorates the memory of those who were murdered in the name of bigotry and hate. It acts as both a memorial to their passing and a warning to the world at a time when the memory of the Holocaust becomes increasingly abstract and remote. AUSCHWITZ UNTOLD: IN COLOUR creates a sense of “re-lived present tense” – with both testimony, and colourised archive working in unison to deliver a riveting, humanised narrative that will compel and move audiences.

Should We Bomb Auschwitz?

In April 1944 two men miraculously escaped from Auschwitz and revealed to the world the shocking truth about the Holocaust. When the Allies heard their story they devised a chilling plan: to end the slaughter by bombing Auschwitz. But not everyone agreed the plan should go ahead. Meanwhile the killing machine ground on… and, in Budapest, 800,000 Jews were being held in an old brick factory awaiting transport to Auschwitz. By November, the Allies had decided to bomb the death camp. But by then, it was too late… For the first time on television, we will tell the whole of this incredible story – and ask the biggest moral question of our time: should the Allies have done the unthinkable and bombed Auschwitz?
