The Holocaust is a moment in history that shocked the world. But as BBC journalist Jordan Dunbar discovers, it’s a story that’s being diluted through disinformation and cultural amnesia. In this moving documentary marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, survivors of the camp explain what happened at the largest mass murder site in human history.
Jordan speaks to survivors - some who have only just chosen to share their stories - who see echoes of the past in what is happening today. And he hears from a family in the UK about how they have been personally affected by the legacy of Hiroshima.
The 1986 explosion at Chernobyl triggered a public health emergency across Europe. Today, the site's strategic location continues to be a flashpoint in Russia's war with Ukraine. Forty years on from the disaster, Jordan Dunbar travels to Chernobyl to examine the events that led to the world's worst nuclear accident and what we can learn from them today.
