The Most Dangerous Man in Tudor England

On 6 October 1536 an Englishman charged with heresy was strangled and burned at the stake near a castle outside Antwerp. One of the most influential forces of the English Reformation, William Tyndale’s life’s work had been to produce a carefully translated Bible that could be read in the language of the ordinary people of England. A man with an authentic Christian mission, whose life and legacy have been largely hidden from history, Tyndale's story marks a turning point in Christianity in England and the development of the English language.

Prosecuting Evil: The Extraordinary World of Ben Ferencz

The incredible story of Ben Ferencz - the last surviving Nuremberg prosecutor and lifelong advocate of "law not war". After witnessing Nazi concentration camps shortly after liberation, Ferencz became the lead prosecutor in the Einsatzgruppen case at Nuremberg, which has been called the biggest murder trial in history. All 22 Nazi officials tried for murdering over a million Jews were convicted. Ferencz went on to advocate for restitution for Jewish victims of the Holocaust and later for the establishment of the International Criminal Court. At 98, his fight for justice for victims of atrocity crimes is stronger than ever.

The Ghosts of the Third Reich

The Ghosts of the Third Reich documents the poignant and anguished stories of descendants of the Nazis, who confront their family’s past and communicate their most profound feelings of guilt by inheritance. These individuals, whose family members were the supporters, officers and elite of the Nazi regime, share a common desire to distance themselves from Nazi ideology and the actions of their ancestors, and to liberate themselves from the guilt, shame and pain that continue to levy a heavy price seventy years later. The confrontation with the inheritance of the Nazi legacy is powerfully evoked further in the inclusion of moments from The Austrian Encounter, a focal point for dialogue between descendants of Nazi perpetrators and survivors of the Holocaust.

This is Greece: Athens

No city sums up the wonderfully textured history of Greece better than Athens, its modern capital, where more than half the country's population now lives. It is the home of ancient ruins from the marvel of the Acropolis and the Parthenon to the Hadrianic water pipe system, which parts of modern Athens’ modern system still rely upon. The Romans have left their forum and the Tower of the Winds, and there are also Byzantine churches from the 11th and 12th centuries. Part 2 of 5.
