BBC Antiques Roadshow: Holocaust memorial special

The BBC have just broadcast an Antiques Roadshow special on the Holocaust. If it’s not blocked for you, it is worth your time to watch. I could only watch in bursts, so much did it affect me.

Blocked outside of the U.K.

Upon first glance this seemed like a very bad idea, but after I read the synopsis I felt better about it:

  • In a rare break from tradition, the items screened will not be valued due to their priceless nature and historical importance.*

It was very good. Nothing particularly surprising, but it did a good job of covering the subject from a wide range of different angles.

Yes.Two of the items were the actual yellow stars the Jews had to wear and a game about rounding up Jews.
