World History: Holocaust Documentary - not an assignment

A documentary about a lost film from the liberation of Bergen-Belsen camp by the British and other camps during the end of WWII, including Auschwitz. A British filmmaker created a documentary in 1945 to show the indescribable scenes of what British soldiers found at one of the more famous camps in the Holocaust period.  What was finally finished 70 years later is a comprehensive and bracing look at how the Allies learned about the horrors of Nazi policies.

DISCRETION IS REQUIRED - although this is an unrated film, it includes extremely disturbing images of the discovery and clean up of a major prison campsite along with other camps (labor and extermination camps). Unflinching scenes of real dead bodies are strewn throughout the film and it can be extremely harrowing and shocking.
