Harry Mulisch - Schepper van Zichzelf

It remained to be seen whether he was mortal, Harry Mulisch would sometimes say. But on October 30, 2010, he had to surrender to death after all. His study in Amsterdam has remained untouched since that day. It was there that he wrote classics such as 'The Bridal Bed of Stone', 'Two Women', 'The Assault', and 'The Discovery of Heaven'. What kind of person was Harry Mulisch? What was he like as a father and husband? Why did he have so much sympathy for Fidel Castro, and is it true that he loved dachshunds more than people? Ten years after Mulisch's death, director Coen Verbraak goes in search of the person behind the writer.

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".
