    The Axis and the Holocaust 1941-43

    German and Italian fascist armies in the Second World War treated the Jews quite differently. Jews who fell into the hands of the German army ended up in concentration camps; none of those taken by the Italians suffered the same fate.

    Narrated by Jim Walsh ...

    Unabridged

    1 hour 15 min

    After the Battle of Fort Sumter in April 1861 ignited the Civil War, many in the North expected a relatively quick victory, including President Abraham Lincoln.
