Eighty-six clips drawn from original Hearst-produced newsreel footage trace events related to WWII from Hitler's rise to power in 1922 to the 1967 dedication of Auschwitz as a Holocaust memorial.
A majority serves as news of military operations in both theaters, while significant persons and objects (e.g., Liberty ships), political developments, treaties, and trials compose the rest. Each clip clearly displays the year and topic and contains narration typical of the genre. A teacher’s guide provides vocabulary, pre- and postviewing questions, and extensions.
