Annihilation - The Destruction of Europe's Jews

For the first time ever in a single documentary, the entire 20th century history of the eradication of the Jewish population will be analysed and explained. This programme explores the roots of the genocide and attempts to answer how Europe's Jews were destroyed and how such a crime was conceived and carried out, first in Germany and then across Europe. It explains the stages of the "Final Solution", decrees defining the term "Jew", the expropriation of property belonging to Jewish people, the separation and physical isolation of the victims, the forced labour, the mass slaughters and finally deportation and the gas chambers.
