Fortune Favours Łęczna

Łęczna is a town in eastern Poland in the lubelskie voivodship. Unfortunately, it is infamous for a legend of a former settlement that collapsed and was covered by the ground. The reason for that was the fact that the place had been inhabited by quarrelsome, envious, and malicious people. The modern legend predicts another catastrophe in 2000. In the 1970s, miners came to the town and tried to adapt to it. The unpleasant division between the old and the new inhabitants, between agricultural and industrial Łęczna, was felt by the newcomers.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
