  The juxtaposition of the Weimar Republic the cultural heart of Germany with the cruelty of the Buchenwald concentration camp situated mere miles away would make the region infamous. Herman Pister's instalment as commandant in 1942 only intensified the horrors committed there with the continued growth of the Division of Typhus and Virus Research: the experimentation on inmates in ways to kill more conveniently. More and more prisoners were worked to death in various operations none more hated than the SS Death Railway. Built at the cost of many inmates' lives the railway initially transported goods made at the camp factories. But as the numbers sent to the camps rose Buchenwald became a depot where all the people were sent before being moved to places such as Dachau. The camp even had a VIP wing where French politicians and Italian princesses resided. With its population swollen beyond its limits Buchenwald would have been unmanageable if not for the 'Kapos' inmates who worked as unofficial guards for extra privileges. The struggle for control between the various Kapo groups would make life even more miserable. The atrocities of Buchenwald were discovered with its liberation by US forces in 1945 and the desire for revenge took over as camp personnel were hunted down and made to publicly stand trial for war crimes. After the war the camp's reputation worsened with the conditions in the now Soviet-run prison worse than ever. It was eventually turned into a shrine to Communism's victory over adversity but this Russian propaganda has long since peeled away leaving the realisation of man's inhumanity to man revealed.

• Concentration Camps - Dachau | DVD | (25/10/2010) from £12.13   |  Saving you £-2.14 (-21.40%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Dachau concentration camp was situated 12 miles from Munich in Bavaria and was the first of the infamous concentration camps built by the Nazi regime as part of the Final Solution. The camp was set up in 1933 and was initially occupied by Communist and Jewish inmates but very soon its doors opened to many other miserables that the Nazis wanted to eradicate. Dachau is factually considered as one of the worst Nazi camps with a hideous reputation of maltreatment and barbaric living conditions. During 1941-42 hundreds of medical experiments were carried out on healthy prisoners and in the final year of the war more than 40 000 prisoners perished in the camp. A disturbing yet insightful insight into one of humanity's darkest hours.

Inspired by the story material Capote and his partner Harper Lee travel to the town to research for an article. However as Capote digs deeper into the story he is inspired to expand the project into what would be his greatest work 'In Cold Blood'. To that end he arranges extensive interviews with the prisoners especially with Perry Smith a quiet and articulate man with a troubled history. As he works on his book Capote feels some compassion for Perry which in part prompts him to help the prisoners to some degree. However that feeling deeply conflicts with his need for closure for the book which only an execution can provide. The conflict and mixed motives for both interviewer and subject make for a troubling experience that would produce a literary account that redefined modern non-fiction....
