Has anyone else been watching the History Channel's three part series on Auschwitz? There are a lot of survivor interviews, which I find the best part (being into family histories). I applaud them, Steven Speilberg's Shoa, and any other program that gets survivors on tape, putting a real, personal face onto the Holocaust.

I grew up in such a white-bread world, the first time I saw a Holocaust film, it seemed unreal - then I realized that these were real people, not actors, and that they weren't going to get up for the next take. Seeing the survivors in color just makes it more real for others like me, who were so astounded that it just couldn't really be happening.
