The story
thumb|left|A British Army bulldozer pushes bodies into a mass grave at Belsen, April 19, 1945. The film opens with a note that the following is "a reminder that behind the curtain of Nazi pageants and parades was millions of men, women and children who were tortured to deaththe greatest mass murder in human history," then fades into German civilians at Gardelegen carrying crosses to the local concentration camp. Most of the film includes footage of the newly liberated camps over a score of stark classical music.
