Last year, filmmaker Greg Gransden was a regular researcher at the Archives. His new documentary following the re-enactment of a 1926 climb up what was then called Mystery Mountain is now available on Amazon Prime Video. You can watch the trailer below.

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a day that commemorates the end of the Holocaust, the genocide of European Jews by Nazi Germany between 1941 and 1945. January 27 was chosen to commemorate the date that Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated by the Red Army in 1945. Join us today as we remember the millions of Jewish victims who were murdered in the Holocaust 75 years ago as well as the millions of other victims of Nazi oppression. #WeRemember
