A bit dated (in acting methodology and production) from the 70's and received both accolades and criticism. Created much debate and attention in West Germany and was one of the first film series that told of the holocaust. One of Meryl Streep's first roles. On YT if need be.
"Books and documentary films about the Nazis and the Holocaust appeared in Germany before 1979, but they did not excite the degree of curiosity and interest that the mini-series aroused"
"Chomsky’s Roots did for the American people what Holocaust did for the Germans. The film aroused viewers to ask questions and seek information about a history that was less familiar than it should have been."
"At its fortieth anniversary, the series was rebroadcast on German television in January 2019. A survey showed that fewer than half of German school children then had any knowledge of the Auschwitz concentration camp"
