Such plants became a priority target for Allied bombers and so on 4th April 1944, an American reconnaissance aircraft took aerial photographs of the plant and its surroundings for the first time. By chance they captured the horrors of nearby Auschwitz - the gas chamber and Crematorium I, the infamous execution 'wall', the guard towers and security fencing and row after row of barrack like huts where the prisoners lived. Auschwitz From The Air contains an exclusive interview with a surviving escapee of Auschwitz. By combining the emotional memories of those who experienced the camp and an almost forensic analysis of the shocking process of genocide, Auschwitz From The Air will evoke details of the horror of Europe's darkest hour in a uniquely compelling way. The film raises some uncomfortable questions - if Allied aircraft could photograph the concentration camps in detail, why did they not destroy them?
