Auschwitz Untold: In Colour

AUSCHWITZ UNTOLD: IN COLOUR tells the real story of the liberation of Auschwitz, for the first time in colour. By bringing colour to the original black and white archive and telling survivors’ stories, this special really brings to life and commemorates the memory of those who were murdered in the name of bigotry and hate. It acts as both a memorial to their passing and a warning to the world at a time when the memory of the Holocaust becomes increasingly abstract and remote. AUSCHWITZ UNTOLD: IN COLOUR creates a sense of “re-lived present tense” – with both testimony, and colourised archive working in unison to deliver a riveting, humanised narrative that will compel and move audiences.
