LONDON (Hollywood Reporter) - Almost 60 years after the Holocaust, a new British documentary will use computer technology to recreate life within the Nazi death camps.

"Auschwitz," based on nearly 100 interviews with survivors and perpetrators, will be broadcast by state-owned BBC2 on Jan. 27, Holocaust Memorial Day.

It comes from Laurence Rees, the BBC's creative director of history and the man behind the internationally successful "The Nazis: A Warning From History."
