The Dutch TROS Broadcasting organization has decided in principle to buy the NBC-TV series “Holocaust” for showing in Holland. The Protestant NCRV broadcasting organization, which had the first claim, has with-drawn its application because it considers it a commercial success series with imitated misery which would be traumatic for many people. TROS, on the other hand, considers the series to be “top quality.” The series will be shown by TROS, probably only in 1979. The Flemish television BRT broadcasting organization will be the first to show “Holocaust” on the Continent, starting Sept. 13.
