How did a small Polish town on the outskirts of civilisation become the epicentre of the Holocaust? Al Murray and James Holland tell the story of the Final Solution, through the history of Auschwitz-Birkenau. In the second episode, we explore the perverse connection between capitalism and Nazi cruelty. As Operation Barbarossa continues to falter, the Final Solution evolves into its most horrifying form. **This episode contains content that may upset some listeners.**
