An Alfred Hitchcock film detailing Nazi atrocities during the Holocaust will be publicly aired for the first time - 70 years after it was made.

Memory of the Camps , was shelved by the British government in 1945 due to political sensitivity after the Second World War, according to a report in the Independent .

The film, believed to be the brainchild of the Hollywood director and his friend Sidney Bernstein, was found in a "rusty can" by an American researcher in the 1980s.

Experts have restored the film, which until now was contained on six reels of film, five of which were held at the Imperial War Museum.
