My family: the Holocaust and me.
 

Did anyone else watch this? Such a powerful and moving documentary, it had me in tears. By far the best "family history" programme I have watched for years. Robert Rinder threw off his silly theatricality and his distress was genuine.

Part two next week.

I wish! Hope it will turn up someday on a streaming service I can access. Thanks for the pointer, OC. On my list now.

Yes, we watched it and were incredibly moved.

Then, at 10pm, we switched over to BBC4 and watched the programme on Berlin 1945. The last five minutes was about Richard Dimbleby's visit to Belsen. The scenes were indescribably harrowing.

I forgot it was on but wll watch on iplayer.

Yes I’ve just watched it. I’d recorded it. I agree very moving.

I have watched it now and thought it was really good

I can't take any more inhumanity at the moment. I might watch at a later date. I remember my mother telling me of seeing the newsreels of the liberation of the camps after the war and being beyond appalled.

Even more harrowing tonight, if that is possible.

We all know what happened during the war, of course, but every time I hear new details I am as appalled as I was the first time I ever heard about the holocaust. Man's inhumanity to man knows no bounds it seems.
