Filming the end of the Holocaust: allied documentaries, Nuremberg and the liberation of the concentration camps.

The US Government commissioned the US Signal Corps and other filmmakers to document the horrors of the concentration camps during the April-May 1945 Liberation. The evidence of the Nazi's genocidal actions amassed in these films had a major impact on the Nurmeburg Trials and helped indict Nazi officials. The films, some of them produced by the Soviets, were integral to the war crime trials that followed the Holocaust. In this book the author explores the rationale for filming the atrocities and their use in the subsequent trials of Nazi officials.
