One of the things the documentary certainly highlights is that it's very likely that many, many deaths which occurred would have likely been prevented by the millions of people trying to flee that were rejected by every country. Even Hitler realized that the world's public reluctance to accept Jewish refugees meant they were likely to turn a blind eye when the alternative was allowing them to immigrate.

It was certainly a very different perspective on a topic that has been heavily studied. But then, Americans do love an unexamined heroic narrative. I knew the general info presented but appreciated how much new information I saw. My husband, who isn't a history buff, was absolutely horrified. He knew a tiny bit, but most of what Americans see is footage of US troops liberating camps, not the years they spent ignoring them.
