In Jerusalem and Chicago, London and Bavaria, Krakow and Tel Aviv live six people who survived the horror of the Nazi extermination camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau. This is their story, that of their families and friends; the story of their problems, their failures, their triumphs; how with their lives they honor every day the memory of those who perished.

Professor and noted author Richard Holmes examines four of the most influential Allied battle campaigns of World War II in this program based on his book. Archival footage, dramatizations and personal accounts help tell the events of the victory over Rommel at El Alamein; the 1944 battle in the rough conditions of Monte Cassino; the attack on Rhineland bridges at Arnhem; and the British Royal Air Force's offensive against Germany.
