The Holocaust was in the words of Winston Churchill ‘the most horrible crime in the whole history of the world.’ It involved the industrialised mass slaughter of Jewish people throughout Europe, particularly those in territories occupied to the east of Nazi Germany.

In this exclusive interview with Miroslaw Obstarczyk, a curator at Auschwitz, we hear about the horrors of the camp and the bravery of the people who died there.
