A pair of screenshots of an underground receiver and antenna as imagined in the 1978 mini-series “Holocaust,” Part 4 of 5.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

IIRC it ran Holocaust<\/em> 5 consecutive nights in 1978. Some big names, including Meryl Streep, James Woods, and a very chilling performance by Michael Moriarty.
\n<\/i><\/p>\n

“Holocaust<\/i> won Emmy Awards<\/a> for Outstanding Limited Series<\/a>, as well as acting awards for Meryl Streep<\/a>, Moriarty, and Blanche Baker<\/a>. Morton Gould<\/a>‘s music score was nominated for an Emmy and a Grammy Award<\/a> for Best Album of Original Score for a Movie or a Television Program.”<\/p>\n

“Holocaust Part 4: 1944-1945” TV Mini-Series (1978) – Meryl Streep & Michael Moriarty<\/a><\/p>\n

The whole thing is worth watching.<\/p>\n
