SPECIAL screenings of a film casting new light on Nazi atrocities are being held at Bradford College to coincide with Holocaust Memorial Day.

Auschwitz Untold: In Colour will be screened at the College’s Bronte Lecture Theatre to students from Bradford College and New College Bradford next Monday – the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Poland concentration camp.

This first screening will begin with a short Q&A session with development producer Sheldon Lazarus.

Lauren Pickles, Personal Development Officer at the college, said: “It was very important to us to share the stories people have to tell have about this chapter in our history and ensure we never forget the millions of people impacted by these terrible events.”

The film was created for More4 by Fulwell73, the production company co-owned by James Corden. It will feature, for the first time, colourised archive footage from Nazi concentration camps along with revealing testimonies from a number of Holocaust survivors.

Among those telling their stories are a Romani holocaust survivor and a member of the Jewish underground who participated in armed resistance against the Nazis as her entire family was being murdered in a death camp.

Sheldon Lazarus, Development Producer, Fulwell73, said: “The 16 survivors who feature in this series tell their extraordinary accounts of survival and resistance against all odds in their own voices, and accompanied by remarkable colourised footage from the archives, we hope this series will help remove a barrier that separates contemporary audiences from the reality of the Holocaust so that we never ever forget the atrocities of the past."
