Summary
This "NBC News Special Report," which opens with footage of Nazi atrocities, followed the second showing of the four-part docudrama "Holocaust" (originally aired in April 1978) and focuses on the impact of the broadcast of "Holocaust" around the world. The program looks at the different ways the Holocaust is remembered today and includes the following: Pope John Paul II's visit to Auschwitz; the White House Commission on the Holocaust's visit to the Warsaw Ghetto monument and the Jewish cemetery; Elie Wiesel, Auschwitz survivor and chairman of the commission, at Auschwitz; and the sculpture memorial at Treblinka. Kalber continues with the worldwide impact of "Holocaust," which was seen by 220 million people, and the reactions that it elicited in France, Germany, and Israel. The program closes with a critical discussion of "Holocaust" at the Jewish Museum in New York. Includes commercials.
Cataloging of this program was made possible by Michael Finkelstein and Sue-ann Friedman.
