The first documentary in this two-tape set, The Holocaust and Vad YaShem, traces the rise of anti-Semitism in Germany from the end of World War I through to the horrors of the concentration camps. A lot of information is covered in a fairly short period of time, and so this is by design an overview. The basics of how Germany's defeat in World War I led to the Jews being portrayed as villains are covered, as is the rise of Hitler and his ultimate plan to kill more than 11 million European Jews. Archival photographs and vintage film clips, including grisly film of German units dedicated to killing Jews executing prisoners in the field, show graphically how the Final Solution operated. The second documentary in the set, Displaced Persons, takes up the story from the end of World War II, when as many as 10 million homeless people found themselves wandering on the roads of Europe. Using interviews with participants, including a former member of a British airborne unit that liberated a concentration camp, the documentary describes the problems faced by refugees, including the difficulties many had in reaching Palestine. Both these films are intelligently produced, but one technical problem should be noted: the transfer to video from older film stock means that the picture quality often suffers. --Robert J. McNamara
