Too much dramatized scenes for my taste, but otherwise this is another well-made BBC documentary about the Holocaust in general and death camp Auschwitz in particular.
The series' director's resistance to tug the viewers' heart strings and him resorting to a matter-of-fact approach instead is welcome, just as it is the case with the wealth of informative interviews both with former Nazis and camp survivors.
Some more insight and less actors impersonating Nazi officials and this six-parter would've been a truly great program. Still highly recommended.
