On May 8, 1945, Germany surrendered eight days after Adolf Hitler committed suicide, ending a twelve-year reign of terror. This educational documentary traces the rise and fall of Nazism in simple, clear language, shedding light on this crucial period in our history. Illustrated with exceptional color footage of Nazi dignitaries, as well as moving documents from the Warsaw Ghetto and the liberation of Buchenwald, this film uses previously unseen archival material to bear witness to the horror of the concentration camps and the devastation in Europe.
