Documentary Asks Whether We Should See Our Future in Germany’s Past

The Third Reich was one of the bloodiest regimes in history, but are the atrocities committed during World War II being lost to modern memory?

Through the framing of the Nuremberg trials and eyewitness testimony of American journalist William L. Shirer, this six-part documentary series from director Joe Berlinger explores the shocking rise and fall of Hitler and his enablers who were fueled through propaganda, censorship and a campaign of antisemitism.

Hitler’s project: “Making Germany great again.”

The Nazis’ characterization of criticism from the media: “Fake news.”
