1978 TV series Holocaust

Holocaust (1978) is an American four-part television miniseries which explores the Holocaust from the perspectives of the fictional Weiss family, a family of Jews in Germany, and the perspective of a rising member of the SS, who gradually becomes a war criminal. Holocaust highlights numerous events which occurred both up to and during World War II, such as Kristallnacht, the construction of Jewish ghettos, and later, the construction of death camps and the use of gas chambers.

and this was when there were no VCRs yet. Everyone stayed home to watch it. I can't believe how much of it I remembered.
