"Andre Singer's doc "Night Will Fall," the story about the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps as WWII wound down, will be broadcast globally on Jan. 27, the 70th anniversary of the liberation…"
Started showing on HBO 26 January 2014 in the U.S.
Eighty minute documentary of film footage from World War II that turns out to be a lost documentary shot by Alfred Hitchcock and Sidney Bernstein in 1945 about German concentration camps. Scenes incorporated from “German Concentration Camps Factual Survey,” a movie begun under the auspices of the British government in 1945.
Using film shot by Allied cameramen at camps including Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen and Dachau, and assembled by a team that included Alfred Hitchcock as a supervising director, Amid the rapidly shifting politics of postwar Europe with America and Britain confronting Soviet expansionism and suddenly interested in raising German morale, work on “Factual Survey” was abruptly halted. The finished reels, storyboards and scripts would sit in British archives for more than 60 years, until the Imperial War Museums began a restoration project
