A video article will be running this 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.

Hitler sucks: Ass.

This world was and is fucking crazy.

That is an amazing record. It should be quite the historical treasure trove to sort through.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm going to record it tonight on TiVo.
