This is the dramatic story of two very different battlefronts during WWII – the allied campaign to liberate Europe, and Hitler’s genocidal war against the Jews.

 

Using archival footage, contemporary radio broadcasts and enthralling first-person accounts, ‘Liberation’ recreates the heady atmosphere of Europe emerging from Nazi dominiation – in stark contrast to the horrific final days in 1942, when the struggling Allies began envisioning an envasion of Europe.   The film reveals the strategies and deceptions on all sides, while vividly depicting the struggle on the battlefield, exploring those fateful years in panoramic detail. But most of all, this remarkable film documents the compelling stories of the Jews of Europe – their tragedy, courage, resistance and survival – stories you will never forget.  

 

Narrated by Whoopi Goldberg and Patrick Stewart.
