  • Overview

    What is the connection between the bloody gang war that once raged over control of the Chicago fish market, the decades of terror perpetrated by the Chinese, Russian, and Italian mafias, the secret operations of the CIA and the KGB, the Cuban revolution, and the Kennedy assassination? And who is the 100-year-old monk who is revered as a saint in a Nepalese monastery and in whose body the presence of a strange crystal can be detected? Szilveszter Siklósi's thrilling "documentary" provides striking and convincing answers to questions that have preoccupied the world's public for nearly a generation.

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
