How the Holocaust Began (2023)

How the Holocaust Began (2023). How the Holocaust Began: Directed by Nic Young. With James Bulgin. The Nazi evolution from murderous anti-semitism into organised death camps, as documented in this sober piece of historical excavation from Holocaust specialist James Bulgin, is truly shocking in its specificity. An ad-hoc interpretation of party doctrine became an agreed policy of mass shootings on the Eastern Front, before logistical frustrations and concern for the mental health of the executioners prompted a shift to more efficient methods. Almost as distressing as the barbarism itself was the necessary collaboration and complicity of many thousands of locals across Latvia and Lithuania. Harrowing viewing, but it is surely only in better understanding the detail behind the Nazis' mass murders that we can better understand how to ensure it never happens again.

“The narrative is utter nonsense. It is like a badly pieced together 10 years oldu0026#39;s essay. The questions the u0026#39;historianu0026#39; asks are of the most general sense and reminded me of Pete Wenkman from Ghostbusteru0026#39;s efforts into researching the Paranormal at the beginning of Ghostbusters.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA couple of things did make me laugh, at the program not the subject matter, and that was when the narrator went into a gas chamber of sorts in Germany and stated that it was probably the first gas chamber ever built! I mean cu0026#39;mon! And on this occasion that he was wearing skintight white legging style trousers to visit the gas chamber responsible for killing many Jews and other so-called undesirables.”
