A Bafta award-winning production company has been appointed to record the testimony of Holocaust survivors as part of David Cameron’s Shoah education initiative.

Atlantic Productions, makers of shows including Inside the Commons, David Attenborough Meets President Obama, and Kingdom of Plants, will collect the stories of up to 100 survivors in early 2016.

It has already filmed more than 20 survivors and concentration camp liberators using 3D and future-proofed technology to ensure the stories can be played to new generations.

It is part of the UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation (UKHMF) project, led by the Prime Minister, to ensure Shoah education continues in Britain for years to come.
