This educational video provides a somber and comprehensive overview of the early stages and escalation of the Holocaust during World War II. Beginning with a powerful excerpt from Elie Wiesel's memoir 'Night,' the video traces the chronological progression of Nazi atrocities from the invasion of Poland in 1939 to the implementation of the 'Final Solution.' It details the systematic isolation of Jewish populations in ghettos, the mobile killing units known as Death's Head Squads, and the transition to industrialized murder through concentration and death camps.
