In this series Doctor Craig Coenen guides us through the fascinating and terrifying history of Auschwitz.

But in this series we don't start with the camp and the foreboding train tracks of terror, instead we start with a town in the Medieval world.

Taking us back to the Middle Ages Dr. Coenen will take us through the history of this town as we watch a variety of peoples attempt to settle it while various powers fight to control it. From social harmony to vicious antisemitism we see a complicated history that in a way is telling of the horror that is to come and especially as we approach the birth of the twentieth century.
