- Originally made with a German soundtrack for screening in occupied Germany and Austria, this film was the first documentary to show what the Allies found when they liberated the Nazi extermination camps: the survivors, the conditions, and the evidence of mass murder. The film includes accounts of the economic aspects of the camps' operation, the interrogation of captured camp personnel, and the enforced visits of the inhabitants of neighboring towns, who, along with the rest of their compatriots, are blamed for complicity in the Nazi crimes - one of the few such condemnations in the Allied war records.
- The Final Journey follows the rail lines of the Nazi Controled Deutsche Reichsbahn system that delivered millions of people from every corner of Europe to the door-step of the infamous Concentration Camps. By integrating a special collection of rare photographs and crystal clear archival film, the viewer is taken on a then and now journey to each of the former Nazi camps of Dachau, Sachsenhausen, Buchenwld, Flossenbuerg, Mauthausen, Ravensbrueck, Neuengamme, Stutthof and Bergen-Belsen where millions suffered and died.
- Hamburg, 1945: Orphaned children from the Bergen-Belsen camp find temporary accommodation in the upscale Elbe suburb of Blankenese. After the Nazi terror, they are now waiting to leave for Palestine. Jewish carers (Alice Dwyer, Harald Schrott and others) want to give hope to the traumatized orphans. But the departure was delayed, and many Germans still met the Jews with undisguised hatred.
- An RTE Radio interview marking Holocaust Memorial Day in January 2012 is the catalyst for a remarkable journey. Holocaust survivor Tomi discovers one of his former jailers - Hilde Lisiewicz is alive and living in Hamburg. Lisiewicz is a convicted War Criminal. She claims she is a victim of victor's justice. Tomi embarks on a quest to investigate the SS woman's claims of innocence. Unexpectedly Tomi's odyssey ends where his story began, back in his native Merasice, meeting the ghosts from the past and embracing a German woman directly associated with the man who had a role in the liquidation of Tomi's family.
- Tomi Reichental, who lost 35 members of his family in the Holocaust, gives his account of being imprisoned as a child at Belsen. Tomi Reichental was nine-years old in October 1944 when he was rounded up by the Gestapo in a shop in Bratislava. Along with 12 other members of his family he was taken to a detention camp where the elusive Nazi War Criminal Alois Brunner had the power of life and death. Tomi, his mother Judith and his brother Miki, his granny Rosalia and two other relatives were dumped into a cattle wagon on a train bound for Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. The others were sent to the slave labour camp at Buchenwald, where inmates were literally worked to death. It took seven days and nights for the train to arrive at Belsen as Allied bombing had disrupted rail links all across occupied Europe. All together, 35 members of the Reichental family - grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins - died in the Holocaust. For 55 years, Tomi didn't speak of his experiences "not because I didn't want to, but because I couldn't." Since breaking his silence he has been on a mission of remembrance. Tomi has lived in Dublin since 1959 and hardly a week goes by without him travelling up and down the country to talk to Leaving Cert. students about his wartime boyhood experiences.
