highly recommended

An original TV dramatization of one of the most monstrous crimes in world history ? the slaughter of 6 million Jews by the Nazis. Dramatically and definitively, the story covers an entire decade, the eventful years from 1935 to 1945. HOLOCAUST focuses on the tragedy and triumph of a single family ? the Weiss family. Their story is told in counter-poise to that of another fictional family, that of Erik Dorf, who portrays a Nazi aide to Germany?s infamous Heydrich. Starring a brilliant international cast and filmed on location in Berlin and Vienna.

Educational

Of course I had heard about the holocaust - what Jew hasn't - but this movie opened my eyes to the horrors of what really happened . . . MUST SEE!

Best miniseries (drama)

We finally made it through all the DVDs in this set, it's 7 parts I think, on 3 DVDs. This show is powerful drama, still has an impact after all these years. If you like James Woods (or Meryl Streep) this is a must see film.

Holocaust DVD Review

I first saw this series as a 9 year old on TV in 1979 and I really loved it back than. At that age, most of the ideas of the series went straight over my head. I have seen the series on DVD in 2008 and this is really awesome. It's really worth watching. And also serves as a really good example of history coming to life on TV too.

Another thing. On TV, this series ran for 9.5 hours. On DVD (and VHS) it runs for 7.5 hours. The quantity 60 * 7.5 / 9.5 gives 47.4 . ie 47.4 minutes of TV show per hour and 12.6 minutes of adverts per hour. The legal maximum of TV adverts per hour is 13 minutes here in Australia. I guess it's the same in the USA as well. This calculation assumes that on TV, Holocaust was interrupted by adverts. Being on NBC, I think this would be true.

Excelent quality but no subtitles

This TV series are a classical for those who collect material from the II World War and the Nazis Horror. The image quality is excellent, sound is mono aural and it comes exactly as it was aired with fades to black for commercials. The only thing I regret is that it doesn't comes with subtitles or close captioned for the hearing impaired.
