I really appreciated this series.

What struck me most is how well it’s constructed. It deals with something deeply complex, yet it remains clear, accessible, and rigorously explained. You understand what’s happening, how it happened, and why it matters — without the series ever oversimplifying its subject.

The use of real archival footage is essential. Seeing these images, sometimes restored or recolored, gives them an immediacy that textbooks often fail to convey. This, to me, is how history should be taught. Not abstract timelines or distant summaries, but reality: the liberation of the camps by the Allies, the footage shown during the Nuremberg trials, the undeniable visual evidence of what happened. Not to shock for the sake of it, but to remember — and to understand that this is not something that belongs safely to the past.

It’s impossible not to draw parallels with what’s happening in the world today. That’s what makes it so unsettling. And it makes me wonder why this kind of material isn’t shown or discussed more often. I genuinely believe that confronting real images and real history can awaken something essential — a sense of responsibility, of humanity — especially when denial, indifference, or repetition of patterns still exist.

And btw, Fuck ICE
