Heinrich Himmler, born to a middle-class family, became the principal architect of the Holocaust and the Nazi racial ideology. Despite his ordinary upbringing, his insecurities and radicalization led him to prominence within the Nazi party. This is the story of how a man became a monster.

This is the untold story of a Nazi vision that went far beyond the military conquest of European countries. As part of their crazed dream to create a thousand-year Reich, the Nazis developed detailed blueprints for Aryan settlements and vast hunting parks for 'Aryan' animals.
