Another of the team’s revenge attacks centred on the 50,000 SS officers held at the time in POW camps in Nuremberg and Munich. The film suggests that this second attack may have at least partially succeeded.
The film features extraordinary testimony from the last surviving members of the group, including Auschwitz survivor Yehuda Maimon, Simcha Rotem - the last survivor of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and Hasia Warshawski - a woman so traumatised by events that she has never spoken before in public and shares her memories in this film for the first time
Commissioning Editor, Rob Coldstream said, “We are proud to have this remarkable film. Both intensely moving and deeply shocking it packs a real emotional punch - and by flipping the traditional Holocaust narrative on its head asks profound questions about the nature of justice.”
Dinah Lord, MD of production company Caravan Media and co-Executive Producer of Holocaust: The Revenge, added: “This is an incredible story that very few people will know, told from the first-hand perspective of the last survivors directly involved and based on extensive research which has unearthed remarkable new evidence.”
Holocaust: The Revenge Plot, airs at 9pm on Holocaust Memorial Day, January 27, on Channel 4 and will be available on-demand after broadcast.
