The Journey of Butterfly: The Legacy

The American Boy choir made a trip to Terezin Concentration Camp in 1991 to deepen their understanding of a work they performed there called I Never Saw Another Butterfly, using texts from the children's writings from Terezin. Ten years later, the boys--now men in their 20's--are reunited with the survivors they met earlier. They engage in thought-provoking discussion on the nature of music and Holocaust and the effect the earlier experience has had on their lives.

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".
