LONDON -- Sixty years after the closure of the Nazi death camps, BBC2 will pay tribute to the victims of the Holocaust in a specially commissioned series of programs that will head its winter season, BBC2 controller Roly Keating said Thursday. Made by Laurence Rees, the BBC's creative director of history and the man behind the internationally successful The Nazis: A Warning From History, the documentary Auschwitz will use CGI technology to show dramatic reconstructions of life within the camps and will also feature testimony from Holocaust survivors. The show, which heads BBC2's winter lineup, comes as the pubcaster unveiled research showing that in interviews with 4,000 people 16 years old and older, 45% claimed never to have heard of the notorious death camp Auschwitz.
