View Hitchcock's newsreel documentary, "Night Will Fall", commemorating 70th anniversary of liberation of concentration camps;

When Auschwitz and other camps were liberated, the British army sent along a film unit. With the help of supervising director Alfred Hitchcock, the shocking footage was meant for a documentary called German Concentration Camps Factual Survey. However, as the war came to a close, the governments that had once supported exposing German crimes had a new interest in reconciliation and plans for the film were scrapped.

70 years later, a new documentary, Night Will Fall, tells the story of how the footage came to be, and what happened to it. Night Will Fall premieres today on HBO.

Former Federal prosecutor, John Loftus, uncovers "America's Nazi Secrets" to Holocaust survivors- including our hiring the Arab Nazi, Muslim Brotherhood to commission Osama bin Laden; Britain helped bequeath Nazism into Muslim world against state of Jews

John Loftus says the U.S. employed Euro and Arab Nazis (Muslim Brotherhood, Osama) against Russia and Israel. Author of "The Secret War Against the Jews," and "America's Nazi Secrets" addresses an audience of gathered Holocaust survivors (and their descendants) at L.A.'s Holocaust Remembrance Day on the topics of Ameican and British complicity in both financing of the Nazis (and Islamofascists) - and then arranging to provide safe harbor for escaping Nazi criminals to their countries.

The Justice Department, Mr. Loftus's research reveals, obstructed Congressional investigations, including concealing from 9/11 investigators the role of U.S.-recruited Arab Nazi war criminals, the Muslim Brotherhood, in recruiting modern, middle-eastern terrorist groups, the Mujahadeen. Muslim Brotherhood off-shoot, Hamas, is the Palestinian heir to the Nazi ideology of eradication of the Jews.

L.A. County Sheriff Lee Baca (who testified at the House of Representatives' Homeland Security hearing on Muslim radicalization) sat on the dais, along with local elected officials, Mayor Villaraigosa, County Supervisor, Zev Yaroslavsky, and Councilman Paul Koretz.
