For those who might have missed this TV show
*This story was aired on Sunday, Dec. 17 (7PM ET/PT on CBS) on **"60
MINUTES"** about a long-secret German archive that houses a treasure trove
of information on 17.5 million victims of the Holocaust. The archive,
located in the German town of Bad Arolsen, is massive (there are 16 miles of
shelving containing 50 million pages of documents) and until recently, was
off-limits to the public. But after the German government agreed earlier
this year to open the archives, CBS News' Scott Pelley traveled there with
three Jewish survivors who were able to see their own Holocaust records.
It's an incredibly moving piece, all the more poignant in the wake of this
week's meeting of Holocaust deniers in Iran We're trying to get word out
about the story to people who have a special interest in this subject. *
