The BBC have just broadcast an [Antiques Roadshow special](http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08bbqqk) 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.

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.
