Laurence Rees Remembers The Nazis: A Warning from History

Laurence Rees' landmark 1997 series explored the reasons why Germany fell in thrall to the Nazis. Combining astonishing archive, storytelling and interviews with figures at the heart of Hitler’s rise to power, it tells us of the Nazi mentality and the reasons behind their beliefs. Chillingly, it looks at those who still think the Nazis were right. \n\nRees is an author and broadcaster, perfectly placed to look back at the series he wrote and produced. He tells us of the origins of the series - how the fall of the Berlin Wall opened possibilities for interviews with people who previously had been unreachable. He recalls the powerful moments when some of those closely associated with the horrors were challenged. And he explains how the regime rose out of chaos, both in Germany and within the Nazis themselves. \n\nJoin Laurence as he takes us behind the scenes of this award-winning series, that has resonance to this day.
