Dr Jacob Bronowski Speaking About Auschwitz
Ойын-сауық
Bronowski is best remembered for his 13-part series The Ascent of Man (1973), a BBC television documentary about the history of human life and scientific endeavour. This project was commissioned by David Attenborough, then Head of BBC2, and was intended to complement two preceding series: art historian Kenneth Clark's "personal view" series Civilisation (1969) which had covered cultural history and Alistair Cooke's series America.
Following the making of The Ascent of Man, Bronowski was interviewed on the chat show Parkinson. Host Michael Parkinson later recounted that Bronowski's description of his visit to Auschwitz, where many of the Polish members of his family had died during the Holocaust, was one of the most memorable parts of any interview he had done. After he had completed the last episode of his show, Parkinson stated that 'If I could save one interview from the thousands I have done, it would be the one-man show with Professor Jacob Bronowski.'

An extraordinary man.
An outstanding man. I remember watching this in the 70’s it was compulsive viewing and brought immense learning into the living rooms of working class people.
Such an emotive and powerful scene.
Reminds me of our government's mandating vaccination.

This is absolutely nothing at all like that. Your comment displays both insensitivity and colossal ignorance.

In what way? That you don't respect science?

Reminds me of Dr E Michael Jones latest book: The Holocaust Narrative "Holocaust refers to being burnt whole. Elie Wiesel writes in Night that Jews were killed in flaming pits. We don’t hear about that anymore, do we? The term “Holocaust” originated in the ’70s from an American TV series. The Holocaust Narrative brings me back to my roots in literary criticism, where I determine the stories’ origins and purpose. I am examining literary artifacts, among them Anne Frank’s diary, William Styron’s Sophie’s Choice, and Jerzy Kosinski’s Painted Bird, and examining how the narrative changed over time. Steven Spielberg, for example, had water coming out of the showers in Schindler’s List. Is Spielberg a Holocaust denier or was he acknowledging that the Germans were meticulous about hygiene and had the highest level of modern hygiene in the world? As early as 1910, the Germans shaved the heads, showered, and fumigated the clothes of the Jews who reached their border in order to save their lives and prevent the typhus epidemics that inevitably occurred along their migratory path from the shtetls in the Pale of the Settlement."
