forty eight years ago camera crews with the british and american armies entered the nazi death camps and filmed the horror they found there for four decades that film was stored in the archives of the imperial war museum in london the documentary was unfinished with missing soundtracks but the directors including alfred hitchcock i developed a script to go with the pictures tonight frontline presents that film unedited as close as possible to what the producers intended for a half century ago they made it as a document to serve our collective memory place in the sun smell it came from a concentration camp a ways to ring with bob were overlooked by watch towers coming in from the flowering countryside in spite of the frightful smell most of the people seemed to be listless beyond hope hunger had probably affected them that way we discovered that among this stench of disease and decay was something a bit worse than hanging there moving gesture to live amongst such scarcely the strength to pick the lice which inevitably s or over them they seem to custard and to the smell in the horror they had seen all there was to see here is a pit where the inmates in order to earn who had to drag the bodies of their comrades but they were too weak to keep up with the rate at which they were there was an urgent need to get rid of as many bodies as possible as quickly as possible so all the s s was set to work five hundred hung gary and troops captured with the s s were started on a grave digging operation the s s themselves were made to do the unpleasant job they had the inmates to do this after all was nothing to these men and they the modest race had been told to be they could kill in cold blood and it seemed to the british so meanwhile back at the camp those who were still living with being attended to supplies of hot soup were prepared and those who could eat and aided with it as quickly as possible had been no water supply for six days the germans pleaded it had been caught we laid on water in a few hours and before twelve hours had passed had sufficient to when they live in that the dream was true or but the job of clearing up bell sin was a big one out of the laundry d d t was dusted of and they were washed clean wrapped in blankets and removed in clean ambulances by teams with king in relays in a miracle of relief  two miles away from the camp was found a large as says bounce a training school m hospital well stocked with medical supplies strange that they should not have been used by the germans for the was still died every day they were too far gone many of them to digest any food and there was a desperate shortage of missing stuff still one could be thankful that they were not simply being  rot away with neglect meals for the children had always been few and far between so they want food we gave them with infinite nothing could be more dreadful now and to lose a piece of potato or a drop of soup something symbolic about new clothes you clearly meant renewed hope now he could look forward to growing up to use old man hood there were more than two hundred children under twelve years old still alive in t know what circumstances and did not try to imagine i've been here eight days and never in my life it had been such them the book up to this morning betty there were five thousand bodies we don't know who they are behind me you can see a pit which will contain another five thousand indistinguishable sheep to treat in a common graze thought the fire will die the smoke and ash will drift away and grass will cover no german can say he did not know about man became we batches of prisoners were marched in here to die the gas chamber was convenient to face next to the morgue and next to that was the the prisoners arrived often in railway that they had been no hurry to unload this when they went away leaving the prisoners to die of hunger and go and  during the first week of april twenty five thousand were removed by the other him because of the approach of the allied forces when the camp was liberated on april they had to see to see what they had been fighting for and we had been fighting again these drunken heads belonged to to polish prisoners who had escaped and being recan city is a holiday resort in the mountains everything is charming and picture it your thought is in the camp to special measures to make sure that a man would neither live normally nor died normally neither should he leave norma he was surrounded by bob why and he had to sleep that would not have been an attempt to destroy the evidence some of the desperate dreaming prisoners broke out flame throwers and machine guns were waiting to receive
