Description: 
World War II was the first war in history that killed more civilians than soldiers, as leaders on both sides accepted noncombatant casualities as inevitable-and, to some, even desirable. This program studies the courage and the strength necessary to face and survive starvation, bombing, torpedoing, massacre, and extermination in camps specifically designed for that purpose.
