Durchs Höllentor ins Paradies - Die Geschichte des Kunsthaus Zürich

The history of the Kunsthaus Zürich, from its opening in 1910 to the present day. It is marked by countless exciting, sometimes dramatic, sometimes amusing and bizarre episodes. Among them are repeated public socio-political disputes, such as the controversy surrounding the establishment of the Zurich Giacometti Foundation in the 1960s or, more recently, the debate about the Emil G. Bührle Collection. Legendary exhibitions have contributed to the international reputation of the museum, including the world's first museum exhibition of Picasso in 1932.

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".
