The Lost Urzecze

The Olęders were innovators and skillful drainage engineers reclaiming wastelands on the banks of the Vistula river n Warsaw, who arrived here from the Netherlands in the 17th century. They were living in Urzecze - a region lost to human memory, in perfect symbiosis with nature, only a few kilometers from the city centre. The Olęders used fertile alluvial soils the Vistula river brought along with floods. Theirfields yielded spectacular crops: delicious vegetables, fruit, cereal with abundant sheaves and grains. Today you will not meet them anymore during a walk or bike trip. Their traditional farms no longer exist here. They abandoned them in 1945 before the Red Army’s offensive, never to return to Urzecze again…

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".
